How do you pay for your mods?

Will all of these "what should I buy for my taco?" threads, it got me thinking about how you all save for your mods. There seems to be a lot of people who don't fully consider their mods before they buy them and that seems reckless, but who am I to judge?

Personally, I won't put anything on my truck that I couldn't pay for outright and haven't researched to death, so how do you all pay for/ justify these purchases?

 

Well trying to find ways to spend your money won't really get you very far but just put a bit from every paycheck into another account to save up.

 

cocaine and pimping whores

EDIT: I do not partake in these activities. Mostly saving up what little money I have after taking care of responsibilities

 

Whatever money is left over after all the bills and food and whatnot gets saved, and eventually turned into truck parts. Bonus's at work are always truck part money. I'm a full time student and work at Lowes.

I pay cash for all my mods. I keep my credit available for emergencies. A mod will never go on my credit card.

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

By selling this hot ass

 

I use my truck for work and get paid mileage. That mileage usually goes towards truck parts, trips and other presents for myself! The salary goes towards the house and bills and whatever else the better half thinks we might need.

 

Yes! Thats good to hear. I guess I look at mods like a hobby and I have a set amount of money to spend it every month. I prioritize maintenance and upkeep first, utilitarian mods second, and fun mods last.

It amazes me that some people go into serious debt to buy their vehicle and then more debt putting useless or ill conceived mods. I guess it is the conservative in me, but I figure people are grown up and can spend their money however they want, but don't expect me to bail you out if you go broke!

Edit: I guess this sounds kinda preachy. What you do with your money isn't my business, but just thought I would ask.

 

How much for an hour?

Thats nice! I wish I had that deal. I get a subsidy to use public transit, but thats no fun

 

EBT card

 

recycling cans


agree with Khaos. Anything leftover i treat myself to some mods.

 

Lots of OT!

 

im in highschool and my parents own a restaurant so i work there when i dont have school or baseball and then i just save up my money after my gas money and put a little back at a time til i have the money for what i want

 

Good on you guys. I worked full time in school and it helps keep you grounded. Good luck in school!

 

^^^ this. End of year bonus helps too

 

OT and whatever else i have left after the truck payment

 

I sell other people's kidneys and lungs to undisclosed buyers.
Shit can get real spensive you know.

 

I sell others mods to pay for my own mods

 

I find a "mod" or "accessory" that I want and then I save for it. Then I do it all again for the next one............College student budget does that to you :/
