How To Afford Your Skyline?

[Boostkid]

Searched for a thread like this a few times and found nothing so thought " why not?"

I for now work at Target as a casual, I make shit money because I'm 17 and am hopefully getting a second job as a cold room worker for Mrs Crockett's in the next few weeks to make extra cash for savings.

I plan on applying for a job as detector dog handler (or anything else I can get) at Customs. I figure this job will be stable, fun, good pay, full time and very interesting).

All this in the end to achieve the dream, GTR Ownership.

bought and kept property over the last fourteen years. started as a young lad when my mates were still paying rent and drinking it all away. now my same mates mostly are still paying rent or struggling one morgage, and i am sorted and free to party some.

after getting my taste of a GTsT, i am very keen now to off load a few VWs for the GTR... only to convince the lady.

i guess im gonna have to put my R34 on hold and put the money into business or property.

I stowed away money for years, including money from jobs, christmas, birthday etc. Alot of my friends complain I don't splash out and go clubbing/drinking that much, but to be honest I'm not into the whole scene. My passion is cars and thats where all my finaces go.

What should I respond with? I'm an engineer, which you would think would be office job, but I spend most of my time on site.

[Bluprint]

Public servant here, IT all rounder to be exact.

So I went for the office job option.

Bought my R33 GTS-t when I was working for an ISP doing Phone Support. Had that for 2.5yrs then switched to being a Courier Driver (sole trader) and sold my GTS-t for an R32 GTR.

About the only thing I own is the clothes on my back

Q.A manager in Mining Electronics n Comms industry.... bitta office, bitta onsite, bitta system testing... everyday is different, pay is good

can't complain.

my advice, do something you have half an interest, background knowledge in... and work hard at it you will get far...

Printing (Prepress), so in the Graphic Arts field....I ticked the Industry option but I'm not a factory worker..

I plan on applying for a job as detector dog handler (or anything else I can get) at Customs.  I figure this job will be stable, fun, good pay, full time and very interesting).

good luck with that, I reckon it would be very interesting.. do you know what you have to do to get into it? Do you have an interest in dog obedience/handling already?
