Am I the only one above 15 in this forum or any forum?

[Cow]

I swear, every post out there (not necessarily here) is some kid asking how many lawns to mow before he can buy a 12 volt revy or something. That or "My mommy hates me and wont let me buy a Talon". 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.

There's a few older folks here.

There are a few folks who are over 15 and don't act it.

Well, I'm 17.... I have a job to pay for my stuff, but the problem is car insurance. I have to pay a grand a year just so I can legally drive my car.... what a rip. Not only that, but I got into an accident last week when my moronic friend with his big '89 chevy decided to park directly behind me when I started to back up, and now I owe him $150..... I'm working a 28-35 hour week, at $8 an hour.... and I've been working at this job for 2 weeks now, and I figured that with both car insurance, my debt to my friend, etc., I won't be able to actually have my own pocket money until August 12th. And I have to start school before labor day weekend, too, which leaves me only a week or so to get some cash... I doubt I'll even make $400, because of taxes. If I didn't need my car I'd definitely sell that thing in a heartbeat.... I'd easily have enough for a $1000+ marker, but of course not, Uncle Sam/"the man" has to take a huge portion of my earnings away from me.... and on top of that, I have only 2-3 hundred dollars left in my bank account....
Well that's my fair share of ranting for the day... So let me just say this: young ones, get a job, and work hard for a long, long time, so you can save your money. By the time your 16th birthday rolls around, you'll want to start looking at cars... and insurance is NOT cheap.

[AllAmericanMag]

I am 15 and work fulltime, that gets me more than enough paintball junk ($1300+ gun and whatnot).

[FatMan]

I'm 40, but I act like I'm 15!

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!

I'm 17, I have a 30 hour a week job, and pay the lease on my new car as well. I do know what you mean though.

[emag2002]

i'm 30 years old and i have a few friends that have paintball shops in the dallas area ,,out of the sell they have around 15 percent that are over 18 ,,guess what the rest are under 18 ,,they are the ones that play ,,yes there is alot of older people play but they dont have the money the younger kids have or can't get it unless your 30-40 and still live with mother,,so if it takes mowing yards picking up cans or ect,,,,, just do what it takes and see all of you,, out on the fields

17 seems to be the magic age here. Guess what I am.

[InfinatyBPS]

Well, I'm 15 and I don't have a job because I legaly can't and I would much rather not have to explain on here why... With my allowance I'm lucky if I can play once a month... all my feilds around here charge around $45 for admission and air, so that leaves very little money for paint, that gives me $35 to find a case of paint I would get a job if I could but I can't so ya, it sucks...

[Jonno06]

dropkick,your 20?!...wow...

I am 16..w00t...

i have a car,even though i cant drive yet...
