when i was 16, 5 years ago, i bought my own car, paid for my own insurance, had a dirt bike and played paintball with my own stuff every weekend and bought another new dirtbike when i was 17. i dont say those things to brag at all but moreso to let you know you're not the only one and that it can be done.

it's just a matter of having a good, honest work ethic and really wanting something bad enough fo go bust your ass for it.
