I busted my ass this summer working like 50 hours a week to get enough money for my guns and car. Woke up everyday at 4 am to go to work. All that hard work for my favorite thing: paintball.

I'm 19 and not really relying on mommy and daddy anymore, except a few bucks on Christmas and birthdays, but that's about all the support I get from them for paintball. Everything I buy is usually from my own money... takes away from the car too, need to get that fixed soon.

I'm 27 years old and me and my wife both work. I have two step sons that both play paintball. We have spent a ton of money on paintball. I have a CO2 fill station and a scuba fill station for compressed air. If your going to play paintball for a long time, I would invest in getting the tanks and materials to fill your own bottles at home. My CO2 fill station has already paid for itself.

I'm 17 and to get the money for my EMAG i am getting ready to purchase I had to work hard. $650 of the money I have for the gun I earned when I was 13. I had a paper route and I saved all my money from it and put it in a mutual fund for the two+ years I had the job. I decided that this was the time to take a little of it out to play with. The rest of my cash comes from a weekend job at officemax. My parents basically give me **** in terms of allowance and such. They give me a place to stay and food every day and I have to work hard in order to play paintball. One thing they did give me was a car so I will give them credit for that. Even if you are under 16 there is still stuff you can do to make cash. Be enterprising.

I'm 16 and I sell my soul to the people here at DeHart's Red Apple Market so I can play. And I don't think you need to be bashing on people who's parents give them more money, just take pride in the fact that you work for your hard earned paintball (yeah right). But seriously if your parents did give you money to play paintball you would take it so don't be a hypocrite.

I know a guy, I'm sorry to say, who deals in weed to pay for paintball. Makes a pretty good business, I'm also sorry to say.

Me, I got lucky. Last summer, I got a job fixing computers and troubleshooting the network for a freight forwarding company (A major account of theirs was Dell, and the software wholesalers that work with them). $320 a week of "free" money (I had to pay for lunch every workday, and gas whenever I had the car and it was running low) is a lot to play with. That job paid for a new computer ($1000) that I took with me to college, as well as paintball twice a month (alone as well as with the company "team"; Ever gogg your company's executive VP, or nail the sales manager in her @$$?), a paintball setup with a Piranha, Flex-7, and harness, and over $1000 of spending money for college, which I'm more than halfway through already (shouldn't have gotten to like the buzz from ciggies). Anyway, I considered myself pretty well-off for an 18-year-old.

Been doing the same job since I was 17. I get yelled at by people with psychological problems and hormonal imbalances with alcohol in their bloodstreams. Some have threatened to inflict bodily harm upon me. They call me a liar, stupid, a cheat... although I'm quite the opposite. These people are often referred to as the general public... and my profession: sales rep/emergency tech at a computer shop. "Everything is my fault, the parts I sold them are $*&%, they're the experts - not me, I'm an idiot because I wear a name tag, I'm supposed to teach them for free, physical damage (teeth marks, and what have you) is covered under warranty everywhere else, they know everything and their buddies will vouch for them, their 'computer guy' said so..." The Brady Bill was created for people like me and my fellow co-workers. This is how I make my meagre income and pay for paintball.

Luckily, I have other stuff planned for myself. If everything goes through, I'll be maintaining a local agency's web stuff and I can quit my job. I also have been licensing out some of my software for point of sales systems at $200 a pop - once I completely out do the competitor's software, I'll publish it on the web. I actually made enough off of that last few months to pay for a semester of school.
