I've been working for $6.50 for a few months now, and that's absolute crap. I was just wondering what you all do to pay for your mods, I see a lot of you guys do stuff like rear end build up, exhaust, body work, UDP, CAI, wheels. That stuff isn't cheap, so what do you all do to pay for your mods?

Right now I have an exhaust and some vinyls on the back, I'd have more mods I just can't pay afford it with my job. BUT good news for me, the Dodge (I know, this is a FORD Mustang forum) dealership just called me this morning and the guy was asking when I can start working. He said I'll start at $8 and move up to $9 in a month. When school starts I'll be working 30 hour weeks, so I'll have some mods going. I'm just wondering how you all are doing.

Please don't move this to general, there aren't many comments there. And if you're like 40 years old with a career and a large savings account, its pretty obvious how you pay for your mods. This is mainly for the kids in school to talk about how they pay for everything.

I really don't know. Ask the girlfriend. She gets mad that I never buy HER anything, and I spend all my money on the car :D.

I buy little things in bunches. Then one big purchase (like new amps I'm getting soon). Look around the For Sale section. I get a lot of stuff used. Or I will buy the part, whatever it is, then just throw it in the garage until I have time to install it or money to take it to get installed, especially if it is an awesome deal I just can't pass up.

Im 21 and work as an EMT, it doesn't pay that much but it gets the job done...

Working my ass off. [:@]
And selling stuff on eBay...It's actually very good way for money, I havea lot of stuff my grandma gives me for free from work (perfumes etc..) and I sell textbooks people don't want.
Check my items out...and buy something lol

im 19....i make 6.25 an hour and work 48 hours a week...i put 150 in the bank each week and i have to pay for gasso thats 35-40 a week...... i usually have 70 a week left................but.............i have a girlfriend so therefore i never have any money lol............I bought my car last summer..........my exhaust i got as a christmas gift and my cai i bought with my tax return money........my chin spoiler,grill delete, bumper inserts,fog lights,taillight tint SHE bought for me......yesterday she asked me if i wanted a gt bumper or new wheels for christmas lol.........so the key is to find a fine lookin woman who just wants to make u happy lol.......

Now wouldn't that be nice!

I'm 18 and well believe it or not i'm actually goin to have more money when i start goin to school in the fall i think. I pretty much have everything paid for through scholarships :D and since I did get those scholarships and my parents don't have to help me withe tuition etc. they're going to pay for my housing for the year! So i can just save my money and start the mods (after I get some rims and tires [:@])

Im 20in the Canadian Air Force,I have no idea how much money I make before taxes and crap right now but its enough. Aside form the 'Stang I have my 76 Dodge D100, 64 Galaxie, bike, sledand other toys im playing with too.You want a good job with security? Join the military which ever country your from.

right now im jobless and before that i had to make car payments and save for collage but now im just making buy and looking for a job in PA

and $650 sucks my last 3 jobs were $750 $900 and $850

I am 20, and I make $16 an hour working at best buy, and I am also a full time student which makes it even harder to save and work more hours. I have two bank accounts, one I use to pay the bills and the other is my savings account. That way I always save money, and when something that I want to buy comes up, I have the money to buy it....

Well I'm only 17, and a senior in high school. So I'm thinking, work hard get some mods and put cash in the bank for college.

i'm 25 and make 75k/yr as the manager of the IT department at my job. a lot of days i don't do much, but when something breaks, it BREAKS and has me busy sometimes through an entire weekend working 15 hour days.[:@]

Make $16hr + commission + grave yard differential of $2 hrbanking for non-indian casinos in california, taking advantage of loophole in the law(since gambling is illegal in CA if not indian) Pretty good job, been there a year and a half, has full medical/dental/401k and all I do is chill on BlackJack and Paigow and take peoples $. Do have to learn Pai gow tile in the next couple weeks though[:@]

Hmm.......I currently make $12.19 with only gas, insurance, repairs, and a small college loan payment I'm starting on early, needless to say, I have a lot to play with.[8D]

I get all most stuff mostly from
www.mustangsunlimited.com (http://www.mustangsunlimited.com) but other sites I buy from include:
www.mgw.ltd.com (http://www.mgw.ltd.com)

I know what you mean. When you're 18 you can work as a waiter and they make bank off tips. My one friend brings home $100 a night in tips. That's in just a 6 hour shift.

i bang fat chicks...
ya know fat chicks need love too, BUT THEY HAVE TO PAY












not really lol, bag groceries at publix for $7.50 an hour
too bad they hired a bunch of 14 year olds and started giving me 10 hours a week
once school starts back up ill be going back to my 25-30 hours a week

Ew dude, I read publix as pubix, which is the same as pubics.

its amazing how your mind went straight to pubic hair...

lol those crazy recruiters

they want to erase my entire generation lol

I'm 25 and going into my first year as a senior in college (I hope to get my b.s. in mech engineering within 2 more years), but I make crap at my job. Only $11/hr....so after rent, gas, and bills, I only have like $300 left a month. Most of that is going out with friends and eating. But I usually try to spend $100 a month on things I want, for the last 6 weeks, every little bit I've been saving has been going into my dream of nitrous. Ebay helps out a lot, you'd be surprised how much stuff you have and don't use that other people will want. Other than that, I usually wait till tax time and my birthday to get good things.

17, working to save up enough to buy another car with 7.93/hr at the movie theatre (get movies for free which saves me a load of cash on dates)and over 3000 in the bank. Every pay check goes straight into my bank. If im hungry or want some food thats not around the house i gotta scrounge up some change and go buy a power bar or some sunflower seeds and a bottle of water... I also work side jobs for a family friend who own a Tree and Landscape service.. Right now im painting their deck and doing yard work for em. Just got done running errands for em and watching their house while they were in Europe for 2 weeks and got paid $220 for driving their company car, getting their mail and delivering checks to the bank.. which took less than an hour so im not complaining. Plus i got 200 for doing like 5 hours of painting but they paid me for 25 hours which is nice lol... I get money but its never in my pockets.

Hmm, well my first mods were paid for with my first summer job money that I had saved for college... My parents wanted me to experience manual labor and I worked in a shed where they packaged potatos over the summer... Really made me sure I was going to college and never doing a job like that again, haha. This next wave of mods I've purchased started with Graduation money and the remainder of my savings plus this summer I'm bagging groceries at $7.75/hr... I've really learned how much trouble a credit card can get you in this summer, haha, it's so convenient and easy just to type in a number and get stuff! Until you get the bill at the end of the month... Took some playing around with but I got the bill paid off within the month, so it's all good! Hoping to keep working in college though and have all my college tuition and such taken care of so money should be going into some savings and some into my car(/new car fund?) We'll see!

19 I don't get paid by the hour I'm a salaried State of Florida employee $31,500/year

Turning 17...$8 and hr workin at the gym. Only work mayb 15-20 hrs a month. But hey its enough to get me what i need.

Good new for me. I just got hired at the Dodge dealership for sure, I start Monday at 1. $8 an hour for the first month, then $9 after that. Oh and time and a half for every hour over 40hrs/week. When I got my schedule for my old job I was scheduled for THREE days all month. So I'm just gonna quit there and go to Dodge.

pfft. I live in tx, and I make $14.50 an hour. I'm a baseball umpire, so i stand there and put a ball in a machine and call kids out or safe, and I make 15 bucks a game. They're like 8 year olds, so its super easy. My paycheck at the end of the season was 1400 bucks, and thats for 3 months of working, for like 3 days a week. I would have made more, but it freaking rained every day for a month just about, so that screwed me over.

I'm starting a 2nd job on tuesday. My friensd dad owns a restaurant here, and hes gonna let me wait tables and set my own schedule. We make like 2.30/hr, but usually you make about 7 bucks a table at 15% tips. You keep your own tips as well, no pooling BS. He said they do like 4 hour shifts, and that if you work you can easily make 40 bucks a night in tips. I plan to work practically every day until school startsin a month so I can earn some damn money.

I don't go for minimum wage jobs. I find jobs that pay well. I don't pay taxes either. I don't think I earn enough, and my employers dont give the w2 or whatever it is, so i just assume I dont have to pay taxes. I don't think the IRS is gonna come after a kid who makes like 2 grand a year. THat would be my taxable pay. Tips are non taxable I'm pretty sure.

I don't really mod my car though. I pay for gas and insurance, and I"ve got 3 grand in my bank account.

You know how I keep my money? No girlfriend. I hang out with girls, but theres no reason to get serious, we're not gonna get married, and I'm not gonna risk gettin' some while I'm still under my parents control until I turn 18 in a year and a half. I'll wait till college when I can do whatever the **** I want.

Damn, that's bad, so far I'm the highest paid, and there is a chance my pay will rise again soon, I'm hoping 14/15ish an hour if I get what I want and deserve.

Oh, to all those that don't know, I currently work at Home Depot as a Millworks, that's doors and windows, specialist, which is pretty much the highest ranking assosiate, so high we make more than some unfortunate standard level department managers, specialty manager FTW.:DOh, 40 hours a week and full time student.

dang.. thats sweet but it sucks that it rained alot. but yea.. i was pretty much looking for any job at that time so i could get my car. but now im makin 7.25. If i was 18 i could make so much more though because i'd be able to be a manager.

I waited tables at Friendly's for about two weeks. Then one day the regional manager came in and told me I can't do it anymore cause waiters can't have tattoos. I usually worked a 4 hour shift at $5.65/hour, and brought home between $50 and $65 a night in tips. It's a really good way to make money if you're good with people. Oh, and when you do wait tables, and parents have little kids or something, talk to the kids. Parents eat that **** up.

Never waited tables, but I've heard it's great money for kids in college that's too lazy to work full time, and or kids in high school. Don't mean to offend anybody by that first phrase, but think about it, it's generally true.

I just graduated from high school and i work for the ciry of new braunfels, $10.15/hour, and automotive department at wal-mart, $8.50/hour. Mods take time and money.

No, make that mods take time and "LOTS" of money.

haha. My parents always tip the guys better who talked to me and my brother when we were little. Where I'm going to be working at, they do a sunday brunch buffet, and last time I was there, I was waiting in line for my fresh waffles, and our waiter came by and said "you can go sit down, I"ll get your waffle for you when its done. Do you want anything on it? Syrup, whip cream?" And then he brought it to me with syrup and strawberries and whipped cream, and my parents were like "dude, hes getting extra tips for that.

you just gotta know how to work it.

When I turn 18 (August 16th) Im gonna quit the theatre and pick up a job as a Lot Lizard at the Ford dealership. Wash cars etc. Once I turn like 19 or 20 cant remember, they could possibly hire me as a dealer. Last years football captain and quarterbacks dad is the Manager of the dealership and he knows me, he let me test drive the S197 Gt last time i was there. Said that if no one bought it and it was finished i could possibly drive the 2006 Roush GT theyve got in detailing.

I'm going to win the lottery. [8D]

I'm going to win the lottery. [8D]


I'm more of a PowerBall fan, myself. I'm gonna wait till it gets up around $250, maybe $300 million, then I'll win it. No sense in being a pussy and only winning the $100 million one, you know?

I'd rather save the money I'd spend on lottery throughout my lifetime, put a few bucks in a savings account every week or a mutual fund, and have a good chunk of money. By the time all the interest compounds after 40 years, you'd have like 150k. Don't remeber the exact numbers, but a financial guy on the radio took the average a person spends on lottery and figured how much youd make if you put it into a mutual fund for 40 years and you'd have like 150k. hmm, a guaranteed 150 grand, or a 1 in 58 million shot at 100mil.

how can you figure out the "average" a person spends on lottery? some people spend like $5/month on just a single ticket, others spend $40/week. that's a huge gap to find an average at.

ok, so pick a number in the middle. say 20 bucks a week. there you go, now you've got a number to go off of. Its an approximate average. It wasn't so much to show how much you could earn, just the fact that you can put your money into an account, and get a guaranteed return instead of just tossing it away (I hate to break it to you, but 1:58,000,000 is pretty much tossing your money away).

I used to work at a convience store, and we sold scratch cards, CT lotto tickets, daily numbers, and powerball. There was such of variety of people who played the lotto. Some people would occasionally buy a powerball ticket or two if it was a good amount of prize money. What's one or two bucks for a shot at $200 million, ya know? Then there were the older guys who came in ever morning and played the mid day and nightly numbers. They usually played the same numbers everyday. They spent about $5 a day, which is really what the average smoker spends on ciggarettes, so that isn't too bad. Then there were people who would spend upwards of $20 on scratch tickets a day. There was one lady who came in every morning and chose one game (usually a $10 ticket) and played it until she won. Sometimes she came out ahead, but usually not. But the best was this old guy (he had to be like 120 years old, lol) who came in everyday without fail and consistently bought entire packs of $20 and $30 tickets. Now a pack of tickets of that price has 25 tickets in there. And there's always a winner in a pack. But he would lose so much money getting to the winner. The lottery is really a nasty thing to get addicted to.

Yeah but how long have u been working there compared to them?

I worked at a grocery store bagging once.. hurt my knees.. going from football practice to work during the summer.. its hard enough on my kneesbeing a 5'8" 190lb defensive end, but standing around for 4-5 hour shifts and 2 15 min breaks... thats why i left for target where i got 8 dollars and earned myself a 230 BBK intake for my mustang... AND 1000+ dollars in repairs after my radiator cracked.. my thermostat and blinker switch went to crap and i needed new brake pads kuz they hadnt been changed since god knew when... Now i work at the theatre, i make 7.93 like i said, get free movies which is a plus for dates, working at the theatre we get 10% off our meals at red robins next door to the theatre which is another deal for dates... and im saving up for my very own4th generationZ28 (got tired of the old beater 2nd gens...)

Problem is you're a teenager working an entry level position in a grocery store. You're completely replacable. Why pay you $8/hour when he can just find someone else to do the same job for $6.50? The job's probably not worth advancing in, anyway. Just be happy you're making money and then get a real job when you're done with school.

im 17 about to be 18 september first been working for toys r us since i was 16 i now am a warehouse supervisor i make 15.50 an hour sometimes i work over nights which is a dollar more for mod money i do ebay average around 600 a month on sales and im a full time student. i got 8 k in the bank including my bonds and yeah thats it
next year im going to desiel school for aviation and desiel mechanic

My daily job is taking care of animals in store. Reptiles, 258 fish tanks, small animals, birds, etc for $7.50 an hour but I dont do it for the money. I just like animals. My other job is working for my dads company when I feel like it. $38.00 an hour and money to cover travel ( I write the miles traveled down on the pay slip and they factor it in ) The days are kind of long though, sometimes 13 hours and the events can be a few days long. I can make about $494 in one 13 hour day though so thats nice and I guess its worth it...

Im trying to save my money for now though :)

I recently started working offshore. I set up systems that monitor hydrogen sulfide, a chemical that comes out of the ground when you drill for oil or natural gas, and can kill you. I train all the employess on it and pretty much sit around every day. I may actually work 2 hours in a day, but I bill the rigfor 18 hours a day. That's 126 hours a week. I may do 10-14 hours worth of actual work in that time. Since I started doing this I am now able to afford all kinds of cool as mods, such as a stroker motor for both the Bullitt and the 6er, twin turbos for the Bullitt, and maybe one day, a twin turbo kit for the 6.

It's just rough on me and my girlfriend, since I'm offshore for weeks at a time, but she likes it when I buy her coach, fendi, gucci and **** like that.

i started out working in contraction i paint houses and at first it realy didnt pay much like $8, 4 years later it i made it to $14 ahr and now i own my company i'm a sub contractor in south ms. and i go around and pick up junk cars for ppl and just any junk that i can take to the junk yard to get some paper, like copper is $3 a pound save all you can find for awhile and youll have a lil spending money like when i'm on a job site after the power ppl leave i pick up there left overs, last time i went i have $350

Out of curiosity.. if i were to melt pennies andseperate the nickel out... would i be able to sell those?

out of curiosity... would you ever be that bord in your life? [8D]. anywho im 17 working at circut city making 9.50 an hour for 30-35 hours week bringing back about 500-570 every two weeks. get the hook ups on stereo equipment and installations [8D]

I haven't been back here to read this thread in a while. But I got a new job in the beginning of August. Working as a lot man at a Dodge dealership, I make $8 an hour. I work 52 hours a week most of the time, and I have done that for the past three weeks. That's $1200 for three weeks. But I got into an accident before I started working there, so I haven't had the car back to do anything to it. I think I'll be saving up for a 5.0 fox and keeping my car.

Where you stationed at?

Im a manager at GameStop for $8 an hour. Easy and fun job since im a manager i make the game advisors do everything while i play games on the tv or handheld lol

damn! i heard gamestop employees work for slave labor, but $8/hr for MANAGER!? no wonder they make money. they don't pay their employees crap!

$8 an hour for manager is pretty bad considering what Starbucks, Publix and UPS pay their lowest level employees

I'm working at Office Depot.. Just started last month or so, and I'm currently at $8.00 / hour.. and around 50 - 70 hours every 2 weeks.. Usually every paycheck is about $450 +

All I do really is talk to people all day, Make some copies, and check people out.

But I stopped spending money on my Stang's.. and I'm currently selling my 5.0 Still not sure what I'm going to be doing with the money if I sell it, if I want another mustang, or another bike.

get paid 17.99/hour wellsfargo main branch working as n operator sorting/balancing checks
50-100/hour club djing every friday/sat night
300-700?mobile dj gig (weddings,corporate parties, high school dances, house parties) atleast twice a month

gotta pay for gas food groceries insurance n baby =P

does anyone know of any gigs that are just great money for doing not a whole lot of work? Like a best buy, or a jasons deli, where's a good place to work at? I'm working at a mexican restaurant right now, but I get 2.13/hr and for tips, I make anywhere from $14 a night to like $70 a night when I close. I really need a more constant source of income, as I've got insurance due, and I want to get some money to buy some a set of chrome saleens a guy is selling here for 700 bucks with nice goodyears on the front, and nitto 555 drag radials on the back. hehe, I don't need those, and they'd have to be replaced pretty soon, but I'd love to drive around on drags for a while. I also umpire where I make +- 15 bucks an hour, but I don't get my paycheccks til the end of the season, which kind of sucks, even thought they are usually very large. haha
