Don't need the college degree or good GPA to be successful. I'm a high-school dropout. Went to a vocational school for computers, got a good job and worked my way up the corporate ladder. I make more than my wife who went to Stanford. Admittedly, a lot of it was luck and I'd probably be better off had I gone to a good college, but my point is that it's not an automatic ticket nor is not having one the end of the world. If you're a youngin' and reading this, I'd still say go to college - I wish I had.

 

lol, IF i stay here, i am gonna get fafsa, they give you money to go university, my friend gets about 4k each 3 months he saves like 2k, and he lives with his parents so no payments, next yr he is getting a STI.

thast how you afford your s4 and get a part time job, like 400$ a month (atleast), and have fun with it

EDIT: i dont pay for my a4, my parents do, so its chill for me, i got a job i make about 200$, i only work 2 days a week. but the thing i HATE about it is, because i dont pay for it, my parnets wont let me sell it and get my self s4 or atleast a stick a4.

 

well i wouldnt say thats exactly "affording" the car.. but i guess its a cheap car loan.

 

Goin to school and workin about 30 hours a week car is paid for.Drove a beater for two years and saved enogh to pay for her in cash so no worry of how ima come up with the next payment although insurace is kinda high.

 

I agree with the shitty job and the S4. I can't afford it but I refuse to get rid of her (my 2001 S4) even though my mechanic has had her for 8 weeks now rebuilding the tranny.

 

2 years ago I was left for dead after being hit by a car. Amung many other things, I am lucky to have a really good lawyer. We just bought my wife an LR3 and I am awaiting my Dophin Gray with DTM, NAV and everything else I can get on it S4.......plus, I am a really good lawyer too.

Otherwise, I would continue to drive my passat. It is very expensive living here in socal.

 

Don't be afraid to roll up to Goodwill in your new S4 when you need some clothes.

 

I spent a lot of time on the corner of a freeway offramp. It's amazing how much those suckers will give you.

 

TO answer your question about owning an S4 its all about working hard playing hard...I see in this post that there are a lot of developers, network engineers and programmers...I am actually in the IT industry myself. Except more on the sales side our company is a privately held firm that does an exstenisve amount of work with large fortune 100 to 500 companies. Also Im sure all of us in this forum have a passion for cars that only we can relate too, while people on the streets look at us funny. They say you can tell a lot about a man by looking at his car and his shoes (on your feet not the car!!!). I recently graduated college 3 years ago and have been working my *** off...thats all there is to it...HARD WORK and budgeting and managing yourself does pay off. Oh and no girlfriend that helps the bank account alot..IF you want a relationship get a dog
