I'm just curious. I have to save up for the most part, but I am working now so that helps me. 

 

And i hate you if you are a 13 year old with a i7 2011 cpu and sli titan x's, because you got that from your parents and are probably spoiled. /endrant

I work 20ish hours a week on top of school and extra curricular activities as a fry cook and I have to put most of my money towards my college fund or car insurance- the money I have afterwards is dived up between food, girlfriend, and computer parts.

Doing things for money is also the definition of a job

But your mind went somewhere else

I'm 10 year old with a i7 5960x @ 4.5 Ghz and titan x in quad sli! It runs Minecraft very well.

 

Just kidding, I work 20-ish hours a week on top of school and just squirrel away the cash. I also have a seasonal referee job that pays nicely in the Spring and Fall. Being able to work 30-40 hours a week over breaks in my other job helps too. :P
