4/21/03 at the age of 18. Worked for a pizza shop since 13, started delivering pizza at 16 in my 95 pontiac sunfire. I managed to get a credit card as well as a checking account at 16 with a 200 dollar limit and maintained perfect account standing. I saved up about $8500 to put down on the car and financed the balance of the $14k through my bank (thanks to my perfect credit). Still own it to this day. Ive since graduated college with a degree in chemical engineering and am now pursuing my MBA in finance.

i scooped ice cream for 1 year to save up enough money for an FC, age 16. then bumped it up to a bus boy, then a hospital cafeteria worker, then an electrical technician for the FLUKE corp., to an air plane mechanic at boeing. bought the FD at age 18 in 2006. straight cash... it was a salvage title. props to the kids who can save, cuz i sure suck at it.. its almost unbelievable how you could do it.

I bought mine the day before my 20th birthday in 1999. I went straight from picking it up to the DMV to renew my driver's license and talked to the guy at the DMV about chicken farming.
