Sorry for such a stupid question, but please humor me. (Please remember that i'm only 15 yrs. old) How can you afford all the AR-15???? And then on top of that, how can you afford all of the extras like sure fire lights, etc. What kind of jobs do you people have!! Thanks |

origanally posted by QCMGR: Good one's. Get good grades, go to college, pick a field that is well paying. When you turn 30, you will be good to go. Agreed. Or you can do like me: Do bad in school - go military - get crappy factory job - be miserable but have cool toys. I'd go for what QCMGR said. |
| i got 2 words for ya , and ya can buy anything ya want: GOOD CREDIT, no matta what ya do in life , dont let your credit goto shit. build it up slowly and get a job and stick with it. military is a great way to go..spent 4 years USMC. *reflects on past, wishes i was in now, lol* |

1. Stay out of debt. Pay cash; saving pays YOU while borrowing pays HIM. 2. Prioritize. $50 a week at the bar, $25 for smokes, $30 for bought lunch, etc. You could pay for an AR in three months of living frugally. 3. Realistic expectations. I'm 40, I deserve my toys. I saved and accumulated for a long time to get what I wanted. Right out of school? No way you get the boat, the car, the house, the AR, etc. in the first couple years. Work for it, earn it, you'll enjoy them more that way. Remember, debt sucks. Larry |

I have completely different advice to give to you. You will never get rich using up all your available money to pay cash for a vehicle or a house. The best way to get Rich is to borrow wisely. When doing Real Estate deals, whereas a hell of a deal comes along and you can buy a house at half its worth then turn around and resell for a nice profit, then it's not the interest rate that is important, it's the availability of funds. When you pay cash for everything and a hell of a deal comes along or a catastrafy comes, you don't want to be broke. A wise man keeps 6 months worth of income in the bank. I buy houses on credit cards and have paid as high as 20% interest to borrow money from other investors when I know there is a big payday at the end. I've been doing this for 10 years and have made out on every deal. There are to schools of thought out there. it's up to you to pick which one you want to go with. |
