Double post mate, just FYI.

Worked full time for 2.5yrs, would have been able to buy it sooner if it wasn't for living expenses (moved away from home, interstate).

i was lucky i saved my money from when i was 7 to when i was 14 i had saved $600 then i started to work at my family's tire store and i saved up around $2800 by the time i was 18 then i got alot of money for graduation around $1000 in all. most of which went to a car payment i splurged and bought a $500 camera so i was down to about $2200 then i bought my pc for $1100 at first then bought a second gpu for $300 and i am still trying to recover from it 2 years later. Note now i pay for all my stuff so its kinda hard to save when you have bills and need gas

its GE (pause) TechNicks

I'm rich so I just have to ask my parents for something and they give it to me.

Just kidding, I got some money for my birthday, and made the rest babysitting. Now I am hoping to make more money when I sell my AMD stocks at $7 in a years time (it is going to happen)
