i am 16 and work hard for all my stuff. ive worked just about everyday this summer for my dad. granted, i do get paid 10/hour under the table. so no taxes, that helps, but i still gotta work hard to play. and to the guy that was talking about car insurance. i feel ya man. i gotta pay for gas, insurance, etc. etc.

to everyone that isnt 16 yet, save money for either a car or insurance unless your really rich and your parents buy you everything

Well, I'm 30 but I mat start mowing lawns to support my paint buying needs. Stupid house payment sucks up a lot.

**HoppysMag** · 07-10-2002, 04:35 PM

HA HA im a moterist!! IM 16 and have my permit! ( and a 1985 BMW 535I )
i must admit my first gun was bought by my parrents, but i bought the mask, tank hopper ,parts and so forth but that was like 5 or 6 years ago... i bought my mag, nitro, 2 revvys, drop forward, barrel,and soon warp. ya car insurance is a female dog....

**Cow** · 07-10-2002, 04:42 PM

LOL, i'm not against mowing lawns at all. You can make a killing doing that kind of work, i'm all for it! I'm just annoyed at reading letters in the magazines where kids ask how to make money to buy an angel because they're only 13 or something. And some of the forum topics are just odd with young kids whining about how they can't afford a timmy because they don't get enough allowance.

I'm 25, went to college, pay rent, have a wife and a truck payment and it's tough out there. My advice to the young kids is buy what you can afford. There's no sense in spending all your money on one gun and then not having any for all the complimentary parts like air tanks and other shiny gew gaws.

I CANT STAND U OLD WHINERS!!!!! seriously now, im 15 and have a job to support paintball so theres no dirt on me and i usually dont ask annoying questions. but still all u people WHINE about how newbies come in here asking questions then flaming them for not using the search feature. GIVE THEM A BREAK!!! u all had a starting point at once, but there was no AO for older people to yell at u. i cant beleive how many times a day i see this. all u are doing is scaring them off from the AO community and paintball all together. i remember how intimidating paintball was when i started a few years back. the closing statement is, YOU GUYS WHINE AND MAKE MORE ANNOYING COMMENTS FLAMING NEWBIES THAN THE NEWBIES MAKE THEMSELVES. nuff said

Sheesh, I suggest these kids either move out or give up paintball until they can get a job. You want to know how people afford this sport? They earn money. It's that simple. Sorry, just in a ranting mood today.

**Smokee_2_7** · 07-10-2002, 05:47 PM

22 going on 12 (or so im told some time.) lol. Like Load SM5, i think ill have to start mowing lawns to support my paint habit.

**rx2** · 07-10-2002, 05:54 PM

I'm 21, and have a full-time job. I must say, I often feel too old when I see the field (although I have been on the other end having started paintballing at 12).
As a recent college graduate from a private university, I will have plenty of bills to pay. So, mom, if you are reading this, GIMME GIMME GIMME!
Time to go cut some grass...

**Mango** · 07-10-2002, 06:06 PM

22 here. Dont sweat it bud.

**FutureMagOwner** · 07-10-2002, 06:16 PM

the government once again screws me(dont wanna know about that) saying 15 year olds cant get real jobs because its child labor. then they complain because kids today are reckless and thats because their parents have to buy everything for them instead of earning it!

anyway i work every afternoon at my aunts resturant for about 2 hours and if i wanted too i could play paintball every other week but i dont(too hot out i practically died last time and it was only 87!)

**deepcover** · 07-10-2002, 06:31 PM

28 here, and just about to bite the bullet on a new house. Its amazing that I can just ask a lender to loan me $200,000 for a new house, and they say OK.

**excessenemy** · 07-10-2002, 06:31 PM

im 20. have a job making 10$ under the table and i spend almost all the money i earn on paintball.

Watch this:

Life sux because my mom won't drive me to play paintball and buy me an Angel! She says I have to work for what I want!

Of course, the fact that my mom lives 600 miles away and I can drive and HAVE a job doesn't enter into it!

Have fun!
