    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    I got married last year as well, had a baby, have two dogs, bought a house, bought a new car for my wife, had to buy another 4 runner for me and lifted it because someone hit my last one. It's all fitting the mods in to where you can afford them. Make a game plan price everything out an start knocking it out. I will say have an end goal and stick with it, but have an end goal.

    If you have a vehicle and want to mod it, it doesn't matter if you make $12/hr, or $1200/hr. People can justify anything.

    If it gets to the point though where you think to yourself.. I can miss 2 months of payments before they repo my shit, turn my cell phone off, shut the lights off in my house, etc,... so I'll buy a bumper this month and just pay late next month, then that's when someone should get real. But then again, you can always sell plasma.

    currently live at home (in college and its summer time)

    work industrial construction when not in school, so good money

    dont buy mods during school

    not many other toys

    going in the woods and off road is what i do for fun so spending money on mods isnt as hard

    OH AND NO GF----thats key, i can buy whatever kind of mods i want without having to confirm if its okay with someone $$$$$

    I get paid decently for someone my age so mods come in dribs and drabs. I have expensive hobbies (snowboarding, motorcycles, truck) so it all depends on what needs the most attention. Things like saving for a ring and a house while paying off college debt throw wrenches in the works. For the most part motorcycles get most of my hobby money because they are what I enjoy the most.

    Hey,
    Mod Money hmm comes from my paycheck while not great for what I do not as bad as others. Partially DAV, No wife (Anymore), Womb rent halved 3 years ago and done paying altogether in another two months :} pay raise time. Live within my means don’t drink, party or waste money on cheap things buy things right the first time. Moreover, most of my other hobbies have been paid for long ago. Both kids brought up to support themselves and pay their own way so they don’t cost me money working and going to college. However, all of the above comes at the expense of time IE age :} you will get there someday everyone does :}

    Cypher

    this...

    ..and this...

    used the money from the divorce settlement to get the truck and then I've just slowly done little things here and there, usually one big mod a year, as my finances allow. I work my butt off and don't waste money eating out or going to bars, etc. My only other frivolous expense is my camera gear. Last year I got a new camera so there were no truck mods, this year a got my tent so no new lenses for me.
