I'm 28 with 1 boy 20 months old and one due in november. I had my car before the kids my wife traded in her truck to get it for me. Believe me I'm in the Marines I don't make that much thats why I look forward to deployments. Tax free and hazard duty pay is great. It goes in to an account for me to do what ever when I get home, and I just got a 38K reenlistment bonus. That went to pay off bills though, and my old pick-up. When I was in college I did a lot of jobs to support my Mustang addiction. Go work for a catering company, that was one of the jobs I lots off fun and money. I owuld come home with about 200 a night plus a pay check every week.

Im 22 and have a car, apt, and all kind of bills in my name (phone, cable, internet, etc)
I worked at a bar in downtown charlotte for about 2 years FULL time (and by full time I mean 70+ hrs a week) I had no life. I have had odd jobs here and there since I was borne (what can I say, I love to work)
I am now putting myself through school at uncc. (Is a better long term investment I have decided then my car)
How did I budget my money? I worked so much I couldn't spend it on anything. I had to take off work just to put my car in the shop. Thats how I budgeted my money, haha.

I guess I'm the youngster of the group so far haha. I'm 18 in college, but i got scholarships to cover almost everything except for room and board which my parents were happy to pay for since i was saving them so much money with scholarships haha. I work part time at a bar in downtown columbia SC as a server, and can usually make a couple hundred dollars a night. All disposable income, except for the insurance money i owe the parents. I put most of it away and invest a good bit of it. (ford stock actually I've made close to 5k off of ford lol, bought it when it was 1.60 and its up to 7 a share, I'll be cashing out soon and figured hey lets invest this money into a ford). If I want something for my car, I'll buy it, but I'm pretty good about it not being a money hole, and just want a nice street car to enjoy, which i consider it to be so far.. My lesson so far, get a job in a bar haha, you can make so much money as a bartender or server.

Yea, i had my business and finance teacher in High School about 8 months ago urging me to do so, and I had researched it for my portfolio in class and came to the conclusion that they were not a failing company, so invested about 1/3 of my savings. Very smart lady and I'm glad I did lol. But there are great deals out there right now for investing in the stock market and in real-estate. Real estates going to be my next venture. Deed transfers are going to be my new friend
