How did you guys save up for your PC?

[thekeemo]

Save up for it. Housesand cars are paid in cash. The idea of a long is strange to me.

[KE2012]

If I can't afford something I wont buy it, the only times I would borrow is if its for something like a house, and then only a bank can really give me the funds I require.

Work 40 plus hours a week. Also Like some have said if you dont have the money dont buy it because at this point its something you want not need. I used to be that guy that would put something on my credit card because i knew pay day was around the corner and I would have the money to pay for it then so why wait? Well I found that if you wait to pay for something when you have the money in hand it feels so much better. I would only ever ask my parents for money or take out a loan if I was going to be kicked out of my house or if I could not afford to keep food on the table.  Also being debt free is a strange feeling but trust me you get used to it and damn does it feel good.

Anyone with a job that has reasonable saving habits? I'd be terrified if I only had $800.

Ah well not in my country)) $800 is 3.5 - 4 months wages around these parts so having that while young is tough.

[Tacobite]

Built/Bought my computer when I was 12. So a lot of saving up with birthday money over a couple years

[starwarsguy99]

I saved birthday money, summer money, Christmas presents and pocket money for two years, I managed to save 800 Singapore Dollars and still needed to borrow some money from my parents.

[Jerakl]

Worked part time for a year. Still in progress ofc. That's 2 years later.

So far I've spent probably around 2.5k CAD on my setup.

And maybe half a litre+ of blood.

And then upgrade different parts over time. The only thing I use my laptop for at the moment is Football Manager 2015, Excel, YouTube and iTunes.

School lunches here in America WERE $2.25 or whatever, but Michelle Obama. That's all I need to say.

[NeinCat411]

I saved up on mine by opening an savings account and depositing Php100 everyday for a whole school year (my daily allowance is Php250)... and by also asking a bot of money from my parents  :lol:

Mine cost about $450 and I saved up by mowing people's lawns and selling paracord bracelets. I'm 12.

[JettyLT]

I can buy good computer from 2Months of working  

[hak4fun]

currently, by working my ass off. I get paid $20 a day working with my dad doing small construction like decks, flooring, kitchen remodels, etc, etc. I mow lawns in the summer, shovel in the winter. It isn't easy. It is slow, but its rewarding.
