    Listen I'm sure none of us are rich, and we all known tacos are kinda spendy. I make a pretty decent living, and manage my money pretty well..

    But how in the hell do y'all afford some of these builds. Savings? Credit? I'm curious. I've always been an upfront, cash dude. Only thing I've ever owed money on is my new Taco.

    I manage my money, and spend it when I think something is worth it. I have many hobbies, some take the back seat while i spend on others. It goes in cycles. Guns, truck, shooting, truck, shooting, guns, truck.

    Plus I make double the household earnings in my location, and live in a house with a mortgage less than 1/3 a 2 week check. that's how I do it.

    I live with my parents and financed my truck zero down, put everything for my build on a credit card and use pay day loans on occasion. I Don’t really give a shit because it looks so cool and I now can get girls

    Well, the idea of cash up front is great. My problem is whenever cash is in my pocket it catches fire. Thus, I charge the dreaded credit card, pay off then repeat.

    No money tree here, I wish I could take the money I spend on cancer treatments and put it on my Truck and Gun habit. @ChadsPride would be liking the shit out of my truck on a daily basis.
