I think that this is kinda crazy, we spend what we spend because we like the hobby. I am 15, I have spent nearly $2800 on my system, money I could have put towards a car. I think it is good to know the value of the stuff you have, but counting it all up, I am sure makes some people sick to their stomach.

Wow...where do you get that kind of money at your age? I remember scrounging and doing chores for $20 to go out with friends. I haven't spent that much on all my tanks put together (I don't think...of course if I took the time to really add it up I may be unpleasantly surprised). I mean no disrespect of course...I'm just curious.

| Well, I have a job that supports me to an extent, and I have parents that support my ambitions in the hobby and chip in here and there (haven't 'donated' more than $300). The rest is all my savings from my bank account that I have been saving in since I turned 8. I had a good $1500 sitting in the bank on my 14th birthday. I have a passion for it, and if it fits my budget, and it works with my plans and system its mine. Simple as that

It's great that you have savings and a job at your age. Keep it up!

Your welcome. Just do yourself one favor and don't let the job interfere with school...your studies are more important. And find time for a little fun. I had a lot of friends that worked all the way through high school and they did poorly and never had much time with friends. They missed out on a lot, and I hate to see others do that too.

| Its amazing that almost every adult I talk to about it says the same thing! That is something that nearly made me take down my system. But I got back on track and took a wake up call, and everything is okay now. I also only work at one of the LFS's during the summer months, as not to interfere with school.

OK...I'm done preaching.  Sounds like you're doing well.
