How do you afford your Civic?

Tommygun43 · 06-21-2007, 05:01 PM

Ok, I'm curious, and nosey. How do you guys/gals afford your Civic?
Did your parents buy it? Do you own a house? Do you have a really good job? Do you eat ramen noodles for meals everyday? Do you have any money left for your self at the end of the month? etc.

Like I said, just curious, maybe this will help my car buying decision.
I'm not sure if I am willing to swing $400 or so every month for the next 5 years. It's an important decision. Thank you.

I work my a$$ off and make good money doing it. I'm a total goof off and when you mix the money with my attitude, you get a good time.

I work 32 hours a week, make about 650 after taxes every two weeks. I live with my parents so I have no rent or any other bills. They pay for my cell phone right now too. So all I have to cover is my $341 a month payment and $166 a month for insurance. And then when I get out of college I get what's left in my trustfund to pay off my car and put down on a house, so that's how I do it.

I bought a PS3, then sold it on ebay
