Always with a CC because I get cash back at the end of the year, plus I don't carry a balance. Always have the money put aside before I buy something.

I use CC mostly because I order the supplies online. I pay my card balance off in full each month, so I don't buy any mods unless I have the funds available.

Lately, I've been hesitant to put any more money into the Corvette as it's luxery item for me and simply a hobby.

I started iPhone development. I've made a couple games, most recent being vipValet. All the money coming in from there is extra income on top of my regular 9-5, so I use it for fun stuff

I work hard, take care of the bills first, and tell my wife nothing. That's how I pay for my mods.

I wait till I have the funds do do it outside of credit. If I dont have the funds then I dont do the mod(s).

I have my 2 sons and my wife out each Sunday with their begging bowls outside of church each Sunday.

I find that the worse the weather the more I get to spend on my cars. I love long, wet winters......

On Saturday she turns tricks at the pool hall.
She came home last night with $125 dollars and 50 cents.
I said "which miserable git only paid you 50 cents".
She said "They all did".

Got the boys kitted out selling crack at school.

God forbid I should get a job though

Sorted! But am I happy

I put anywhere from $100-$300 a week out of my paycheck and set it aside. When I want something,I just use that.
