I was just wondering how do you guys make money for paintball? I only get 50$ a month, and thats not enough since i want a good gun and want to be able to play ever weekend/other weekend. I am only 13 by the way and turning 14 next month.
If you can wait, you can win.

hah, First I take their purses/wallets, get their medicare cards and sell
them to other desperate uninsured old people, then I buy/resell the
drugs, after that I sell their clothes, and finally sell them into the slave
market, I'm then set for a year of Pballin...

but to actually answer ur question, I have no idea how I ever have money
for anything, It seems to fall into my lap,

suggestions:
save ur change, go to coinstar
ask fer money instead of presents on Holidays
uhh...
pick up even a penny if you find it, all loose change is fair game
check in vending machine coin returns,
same goes for arcade machines

That's all I can think of for now. (Hope it helped)

I pose as an old person (older than I actually am) then catch muggers off guard, beat them like a red-headed newb with a Stingray II, and take their ill-gotten gains to support my paintball habit.

Summer is coming.  Yard work galore.  If you work hard enough you can afford your paintball fantasies.  You will either do all the amazing stuff you plan on doing or earn the money and realize you don't wanna blow it all on paintball stuff.

I work over the summer, both at a paying job and doing odd jobs for between $10 and $20 and hour for old people that pay me in cash. Makes me enough to last the school year.

By the way, I got an allowance of $5 a week until I was 14, at which point I got a job, and never got weekly money from my parents again. Be happy with what you get and work for the rest of it.

s'right, I do a webcomic and I update it like every two months. go go!
