Where do you get your money? (to buy these great PC parts and pheriphals?)

I just use the money I get to study. :P The government gives it if you study full time.

 

I get quite a lot too since my parents are poor.

 

I did work in the past, but I decided I want to finish studying without work related stress.

 

Anyway, it's about 600 per months, so that's neat. ;) However, half goes to bills most of the time. Yes, still living with parents at 19 years old.

 

But in the current economy it would be stupid to move out without money. (impossible even)

For me I have a part time job while being a full time student. My parents help me out with food every 2 weeks, sending 50 bucks or so. And with that I budget my food and lo and behold I have some money to play with.

Both my wife and I work, and I study full time. And I wish I could by PC parts and peripherals, but all our money go towards paying bills, food and clothing.

Well, that isn't exactly being spoiled, now is it? I did that in high school, and paid back my dad every single dime. Good job being fiscally responsible at a young age.

 

I'm talking about the many 13-15 year old kids (or younger) that wander the forum, brag about their PC's and generally shit on everyone's parade. (Pardon the language, I felt it was necessary for the metaphor.)

Really? I seem to bump into one almost every time I lurk the forum. Consider yourself lucky, then.

Im surprised I expect most of the people posting in here saying they get it from their parents.

Why would that be?
