i can afford my e-mag/cocker because i'm 15 (so ALL of my income is disposable) and have a 20hour/week part time job at a local skating rink that i've been holding 6+ months...after my e-mag the only money i'm going to spend from my account will be for tourneys, i'm going to start saving up.

wow, my account is still active!, been a while. anyway im 33 married house 2kids so on. im a foreman for a tree company, have a CDL, all types of spray licenses and im their mechanic at night for time and a half. all winter i climb or run an arealift, all summer i do IPM on manicured estates. i make 22.75 +50cents per hour for my chainsaws(2). i put in between 55-60 hours a week(do the math) i can afford any gun i want. so what do i use? a bone stock minimag with a rev and a 3000# 110ci nitroduck. why? cuz it is made so well it will last me forever and it does all i need to keep me competitive. i also have a certificate in computer programming and am working on a computer science degree. from time to time i make some extra scratch as a musician.

Signpainter- Not a huge amount of money but the car and house still get paid for. I also have a chunk of money invested and get a big healthy dividend check occasionally. The wife, who's an art teacher, does'nt care that I use some of our cash to buy a part every now and then and a case of paint around 2 times a month. She gets her hair done so it all evens out.

Hmmm sounds familiar...

I ran away to Colorado for 10 years and snowboard raced(Telluride/Vail) up to Pro level (LaCroix & Oxygen sponsorships). I payed for it as a CAD Consultant (Civil Eng/Arch). *edit... I got 90+ days in during my first year in T'ride. If you go... go big.

Now I'm back in the real world and fund my paintball addiction with an IT Manager's paycheck. I hope he never finds out

Hey Sorch, when at the World Cup I got invited out to Colorado by two different people. I'm thinking about trying to make it out towards the end of the ski season... When is that for you guys? Where in Colorado should I aim to be. My invites are from totally different places (can't remember where exactly off the top of my head).

Depends on your style and wallet

If your bank roll needs a band of sherpas to be moved... go to Telluride and hook up with some locals for the most extreme experience.

If you just want to have fun (night life) and any level of boarding... Vail is unmatched.

If you time it right Steamboat has insane powder... maybe a little overwhelming even Bring your snorkel.

Manike, if you ever come to the NE states to ski/board bring ice skates instead.. thats what its like pretty much

im 23 and work in a warehouse and load semi trucks. at least that's what my job is now. my take home veries on how much I work since I don't usually work my full hours. Once the job is done I'm done and so 40 hours a week are kinda hard. I make about 10$ a hour take home after taxes. so If I work my full 40 hours my paychecks are around 400$. But then you have to figure in rent, phone bills, gas, inshurance, etc. So I'm not really rich.
But for a side job I work at a "semi fancy" dinner as a waiter. usually about 1-2 days a week and one night on the weekend. The one night on the weekend tips vary between 80-150$ in one 8 hour shift. Just depens on how busy we are and how moody I am. But for hte most part.... I'M da BOMB!

WALMART LOL yah its true i work at walmart but so does some of my other team members. all of us cary mags (i just got an impy but still got my beloved mag)

[tazman]

I am an automotive service technician.

I make good money but it is flat rate so no work no money!
(lately it has been slow so I am making only 3 to 4 hours a day).

But I enjoy the work and our slow period is almost over.

[FeelTheRT]

I work at a local field. Pay is great; i get free sodas, snacks, hotdogs, and air; and I get to work whenever and not work whenever i want.

i caddie over the summer and thats about it

[pumpamatic]

I've been holding my job at a pizza place coming up to my 3rd summer. I started as a bus boy, then changed to a host over this past summer, and now I'm back to a bus boy. I'm probably going to switch over to the kitchen and cook the food sometime soon. This coming summer I will probably spend most my time working with my old man on construction sites, but I still will work at the pizza place. I'm not really spending much on paintball, my gun has cost nearly 400, and only in the summer do I play seriously, so over the year I might spend 200 on paint and air. I just spent about 550 buying a PS2 and games.
