    I work. I bought my free flow with my own money. I work about 25 hours a week, and that gives me about 120 a week, and I try to play Sat, and Sun. a case for 40 bucks each day, that's 80 of my paycheck. Then, the rest of my 40 bucks either goes to my gas tank or my girlfriend.
    *edit* and by the way, webbie is gonna be mad if your title doesn't have anything to do with the subject of the post.

        the title might be better if it said, "how do you keep up with the sport"

        don't worry, i think its fine.

              I can't play again 'til feb. My parents won't let me, it's too expensive and too unorthadox for them... And the weird thing is that I pay myself in and I buy my own paint...

                I play once a week or once every other week. I usualy "borrow" paint from a friend of mine. I also "borrow" air for my tanks from him and the owner of the shop we play with (I work for him so it isn't a big deal). That is how I can afford to play paintball. If I didn't do that I would not play at all, kind of like this past summer I didn't play for a few months because I had no money to play.

                  Get a job, make money and play. You can play as much as you can afford...

                    Yeah, it's just like financing any sport or hobby... The trick is NOT to blow your whole budget on equipment.

                    I've said this before, I know several people with $2000 guns who can't play regularly because they are still paying off their Visa bill from buying the gun. you're better off playing once a month with a BE Talon, that having an Autococker sitting in your closet collecting dust brcause you can't afford paint and air.

                    Just my 2 cents.

                              ONLY $40?!?!?

                              I usually blow $120bucks every time I go to Top Gun!!! LOL but who cares, you only live once so might as well have fun and not sweat the small stuff. All my job money goes to my car, paintball, workout supplements and sometimes I have money left over for a CD or computer game. hah!
