Default RE: How do you do it?

Ok, I was wondering how all of the younger people(15-18) do stuff financially?

I mean, I am 16 and I have a full size 1:1 car. My parents say "If you want to drive, you have to pay for insurance". For a year of insurance it will cost me $3,000 dollars. (Mind you I live in Miami, Florida.....so its going to be expensive)

I also have 2 RC cars.

So how do all you people do stuff, do your parents give you money?or what?
I am 18 and have a hooked up 90' civic, 92 kx250 dirtbike, pocket bike, and about 10 nitro cars and trucks. I also just sold two 1/4 Raco buggies for about $900 on ebay. I know what you are thinking parents have a lot of money to spend on me. Actually I bought all of it my self! I have had two jobs for the past year ( out of school now). I work about 60hrs a week and only bring home about $300 a week. My car insurance is about $2500 a year, I have had two accidents a year ago. I still have a cell phone bill and a few other things to pay for. It is all just a matter of being able to work rather then going out and spending money all the time. If you have extra time on yuor hands, then pick up a part time job. Save up a bit of money every week and you owill be good to go.
