K I'm in grade 10 and I plan on getting a job soon. I was wondering how many of you guys spend almost all of your money on paintball because you don't have any bills and what not yet.

Just basically I want to kno percentage wise.

Example
50% On paintball stuff
20% For College (savings)
20% For Girlfriend
10% For other (Gas,Lunch,Clothes,ect)

Just curious when I get my job maybe use some of your planes to see what would be best for me.

This is how it worked for me in high school and how it works now:

50% goes to my savings account

the other 50% goes to whatever the hell I want it to go to.

here is how my monthly spending breaks down:
75% Paintball
25% Needless gas and car insurance bills. (If only somehow I could funnel this money into paintball somehow)

50% goes to College/bank account
25% goes to short term savings(new gun, new barrel, tires for car, etc.)
25% Screw around money(paint, gas, that kinda crap)

Same.

And my girlfriend likes home-made stuff, so I save money there :D. But none-the-less, I still almost always have ~$40 in my wallet, in the rare event that we can go out :dodgy:...

I am pretty much the same as you, foo. Same deal with girls over here in my neck of the woods, I always thought "there's no way girls can be stupider anywhere else than they are here." Maybe I was wrong.

For me, since I'm not old enough to worry about a car yet, it's like 95% paintball.

Edit: Wow, I officially don't read thread titles and just click randomly and post if it sounds interesting. I'm not in high school yet and I don't have a job, I would for more paintball money if I could. Damn youngness, lol..

Ok, here is my budget. I get paid every other Thursday (my checks are usually about $320), so $320 every two weeks, $640 a month. Here is baisically how I spend each check...

$125- paintball
$100- bank
$20- church
$20- gas
The other $60 is spent on CD's, clothes, and on weekends/evenings with friends at the movies and going out to eat.

*Edited for spelling*

If most of you guys are serious about how much $$ you spend on you rballing I'm jealous. I can only work seriously over the summer but I cut lawns now.

85% towards car (actual buying, registering, insurance)
15% towards whatever (ie. movies,pb, whatever else)

numero uno reason I don't like Paintball no people my own age I'm 19 and the younger kids practically run the sport. 10 is way to young to work anywhere anyway I think the minimum is like 15, but even then you have to be desperate to get a job. Just chill out and enjoy life do stuff around the house to make your parents happy and you will find they will be willing to buy you nice things for you Christmas/Birthday. Work Sucks I wish I was back in school sometimes.

I spend.. crap I have no money. But I'm sponsored on paint, I pretty much pay $11 a case... But I owe my parentsabout 4 bills... so about half of my weekly dunero goes to that, and the other goes for food. I can con the money out of my parents if I do anything though.
