my parents are upper middle and they paid for half of my 1:1car which cost 6,000. I saved since i was 12 about 1,000 and haf a job during the summer and made another 1000. My grand parents and stuff gave me money for my birthday and i put all the money i had toward the car. my parents do pay for insurance, but if i get into an accident or get a ticket i pay the difference in the insurance increase. Been lucky so far.

The wat ihave spending money is from birthdays and cristmas i get sevral hundred from family, from there i dont buy stupid crap, I don't buy the coolest pair of shoes or **** like that. I also research what im going to buy and get the best price. I buy nothing on impulse. I waited 3 months after deciding i was going to buy a deck for my car, And i had only a radio for my first 6 months driving.

I spend a lot of oney on rc cars, paintball and othe hobbies. but im smart about my money and makesure i have some extra just in case.....
