Funding the DSM project

[rst95eclipse]

Sounds s3cr3t!!! Do you work at McD's or what!?!? ;)

Nope. Going to college but still make a considerable amount of money over the weekends. And MickeyD's doesn't pay well.

I work as a software developer at a web development firm here in downtown Minneapolis. It pays well and it helps that I'll be living with a friend soon. Oh and I don't have a steady GF anymore, so it's all cars son.... all cars.

It doesn't help that I have a Subaru AND a Mitsubishi addiction though :)

Not unless you've been there for 5 years like me. Hey, it was the only place that would hire a 14 year old (yes its legal) and cant argue with the 70-80 cent raises per year I got. I'm done there though, setting up cones, filling potholes, and blowing up beaver dams for ~$500 a week FTW! Thats all pretty much going towards college though.

I work at a local auto body shop painting cars. Money management is Key for me, considering I don't make commision yet. :(

I'm a Network Administrator for a medium sized bank in Wisconsin. I do pretty good there and plan on being there for a very long time. After my 1st year, I'm at 3 weeks vacation already. The benefits are very good there. My '99 GSX does very well. I haven't come to a point where I short changed anything on it yet. I do everything entirely by myself. I'm single and that helps too. Every girl I meet want's to get too committed. I pretty much believe in the saying 'Dump the bitch, let's go racing'.

Wow!!! Totally assbackwards for me. All you guys are in money management, I see it, I want it, I get it "if the funds are their, useally is". Scheides I beleive in some of your theroy, hide the recepits, But when I take the girl out and lift up the center console to get something and a Novel worth of recepits fall out the seceret is out!!! Anyone elses girlfriend want to burn your whip for spending too much $$$LOL.

I am transitioning careers and will finish school in a month. For 7 years I was in the Fire and Water Disaster Restoration field and was certified in Psychrometry and related things. I Have dreamed of owning my own business as long as I can remember and I am finally almost there. The more I worked with insurance claims the more I saw people are not getting proper coverage and getting screwed over little things like going bottom dollar and not spending $40/year more for sub pump failure coverage and needing to find a few grand unexpectedly. I was inspired to make a change to help me and them out. I am getting the licenses to start my own insurance agency for Auto/Home/Life and in another year financial products as well.

As for funding the DSM it has been whenever a bonus came through or on a b-day or holiday I make the wife only get me car parts. In Winter months due to the horribly high energy bills I usually don't catch up until mid year again to buy mods. At least Shanna likes this car. She never liked the Iroc-z and the 442 was to cold without a heat core and needed too much work. The Talon has heat and A/C so we are both happy.lol. It's just a long slow 1 part at a time process for me. Credit cards are WAY TOO tempting when owning a DSM!;)

I've been fortunate enough to have he GF actually enjoy the car scene-soo much, in fact, that she's looking to get a 2g of her very own!

I was working at Hopkins Honda, still miss that place. I now, currently work at Maple Grove Tire and Auto, making less then what I had at honda, but when you are out of work for 2 months, and bills stack up, I'm STILL playing catch up. I really don't know how I manage to modify my vehicle in the manner it's done up in right now. I have too many debts in places I don't want. I hope to go see a debt consolodator next week, so I can atleast roll my snap-on bill, school loans, credit card loan, and others all into one. I think Wells fargo will allow me to do this. Other then that, I'm looking for another job, doing anything I can. It's all about money for me. I want it, and NEED it badly! Anyone have ideas?
