    Sometimes I feel the same way. I am a grown man working full time making good money and I still have to watch how I spend my money. lol I can afford and do most basic stuff and mods, but seeing some of the projects and the money put into them blows my mind.

    But as the others said, a job is the key my friend. ;)

    I have no social life too, but I don't have that much. Life is unfair. And I'm a terrible modder, so it evens out.

    I do odd computer jobs for people, usually charging them about US $20 for something simple and upwards of $50 for uber complicated stuff. Makes people happy, I'm cheaper than anyone else around, and helps pay for parts and mods.

    Its sad though...no matter how hard I work, I'm still stuck with my AMD k6-2 500 mhz. *sob* Oh well...I guess its reliable. :wallbash: :wallbash: :sigh:
