      I had a job at a fast food joint for a while, that was paying for my car. I then got hooked on paintball(Which none of you are familiar with )so I got a second job during the summer just to make enough money to get my equipment. Once you have all your stuff it isnt that expensive. Know I am a Post Commander and run the security at a International Companys headquarters, so I make enought to play now. I am 19 also, and love the tourney scene now that I can afford it.

        Well, I'm 14 and my money is exclusively for pb. My dad owns a car lot, so when I get old enough I get one of his personal cars (76 vette, 64 vette, 76 chevy pickup, 4 camino, 96 lexus, I'm thinkin 76 vette ) And I work fpr my aunt, and my dad, and at my field. So my money is kinda hard earned. But I get along

          I work at a field, and they don't pay me, but every third month, I either get 200-300 dollars worth of upgrades, or a new gun, and I haven't taken any for about 5 months, and I'm thinking about getting a Cocker, or a new Mag....Don't flame me for the Cocker issuse, I just want to try something new.

          On the side in the winter I plow drives, and in the summer, mowing jobs :-D

              people need to stop hatin on kids that get money from there parents. when you are under 16 it is hard to get a decent part time job. and plus you are considered a kid so parents are supposed to buy you stuff. are you trying to tell me that your parents never bought you something expensive when you were a kid? please stop flaming

                Yeah,my parents bought me a nes in 86' but thats way diffrent..I understand both sides,and dis-agree with both..
                O.k.dont be mad because your underage and cant work,thats a excuse,and dont get mad because your job-less self has a sweet gun and others flame you for being spoiled...

                I,personaly,got a job a wendys,bot my minimag,and quit..Did a hit and run,became a cook/bar-back full time,paid my restitution,
                and bought mag #2 in parts

                  tell you what... I didn't start playing paintball till I was old enough to have a job. Think my logic is strange?

                      Im 15 (as of dec 30th) and for about 7 months i had a job cleaning up construction sites. It got seriously annoying gettin up b4 7 a.m. and not knowing if i had to work till the night b4. And also after a while I went from 8-15 hours a week to 3. So needless to say, i quit. But Christmas and birthday took care of my upgrade to nitro/retro/evolution. And Some other goodies But I get about 4 bux allowance after the money for my own phone line and my tithe. So I have no idea except that God provides as of how i get to play when 4 bux only covers air! (And how do people say that there is no God?) And I barely ever bum money off my mom for paintball. Except for the occasional loaning of the next weeks 4 bux. But yep. I am blessed. and I also have 6 and a half guns (the half is a half rebuilt mag...well more than half.). YEp im livin the good life. Gonna play on saturday, have almost 2000 psi left in my tank, I get a free fill next time i fill up my tank, a full CO2 tank for when i run outta compressed air(ill use my spyder, or pop in the regular mag internals.), and i have about 800 rounds of paint. Life is sweet. =0)
                      Ok well adios muchachos! HOO HA! ENDO!

                        When I started playing at 16 none of the fields allowed players under 18, so I played pump and stock class at a friends house. I was fortunate to know someone with a healthy chunk of wooded land. We played paint limited games. Later when the fields, and insurance, became more lax on the age policy, I continued to play pump against people with semis. I always had a job, but the super-semis and rof fire hadn't yet dominated the sport at the time, so I was able to grow up with the sport. When the Angel came out I had already been using a mag with nitro for a couple years. In fact when I started nitro wasn't even an option. The 12oz C02 was the rage, and you watched your back when someone came on the field with a phantom or sterling pump. Now, I afford a half to full case every time I play, and can be choosy about what brand or size paint I use. I'm 23. I work with computers, and networks, and if I don't get an extra $10G raise every year I've probably been slacking off way to much. As soon as I got into college I started working for the campus tech support. A college degree has yet to play an issue in my career. That well chosen college job has paid it's dividend 100 fold.

                              Well, I never buy anything until I am sure it is worth it, my total spending in the past year is probably 30 bucks. I cut so many corners and squeeze every penny and I am 13. All the money is from Birthdays, Christmas and selling stuff I have no use for via ebay.

                                I've had a job that pays me $6.50-8.50 an hour, depending on the time of day and date I work. And with that money I've paid for a 4-wheeler in under a year, bought several 'guns, and now I've bought a Dodge Stealth. Just gotta' remember not to buy stuff I won't use in 2 weeks (i.e. buying a new videogame every 2 days like some of my friends). Save!
