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

Guest

Any place I can. When the old lady gives me money and sends me to the store with a list. I'll get the cheapest stuff I can and put the rest of the money  in "my rainy day  fund" ( that is what she thinks it is ).  But most comes from ????   I don't know, it just shows up in my bank account. I, I think I need to look into it and when I find out I'll get back with you.

I work full time at a computer repair shop that I bought out last year. Well.. I hardly work anymore. Normally I stay home and just pop into one of the shops with lunch for the store and donuts.

As you can tell by my rig I don't spend too much on my computer, I need to update it it I have nor real plans to in the near future. My job gies me enough money to pay my bills, student loans, regular expenses, and gives me just enough for spending money to go out to the bar or restaurant a couple if times a week. That and with the vacations I took this summer to Australia and San Diego I don't have much at all to spend on hardware.

I wish I got money from my parents lol right now I help with their mortgage hahaha

I do medicine runs for my local chemist on my bike. It doesn't pay much, but the tips from the old ladies really help. That and family (birthday money)

I get most of it from working. Since I'm in university I no longer have a job, though, so I'm not planning on buying much.

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.)

What's your problem? Lighten up.

Work full time.

I should actually spend more money on shopping - but the £150 a month I budget for food goes down to about £10 as I always end up buying something else while looking at parts and peripherials (Spent £50 on a razer nostromo to only find out i hate the thing.)
