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.

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.

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. -------------

could u guys please giv him some serious answers? how old r u? the only real thing i could think of besides mugging old people is to get as many jobs as possible, if ur old enough, get a reguler job and if your younger then u could get off on mowing lawns and babysiting and geting someone to hire you to watch their dogs or something. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

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. ------------- http://www.kiolia.com/shadowfolk">

let me guess? have you ever had a job? I've been working since I was 14, haven't EVEr gotten any money from my parents for doing chores or work, MY day consists of getting up stoking the fire (in the winter), driving to school, go to work for 5 hours, then to play practice then, home by 11 to clean my paintball stuff and get ready for weekend paintball I would say get a job... and if you get 50 dollars a month from your parents you should be just fine... Try and remember how good you have it, more than 1billion people on the earth live on less than a dollar a day and you get 50 dollars a month to spend how you like? ever think about donating it?

i have been doing odd jobs(mow lawns, raking leaves, showling snow, yard work etc.) since i was 8 or 9. Im now 15, and have lots of people in my nieghborhood that only call me when they need something to be done. I babysit, pet sit, house sit, and plant sit(yes, their are people that ask me to take care of their plants.) I walk my nieghbors dog 5 days a week and get 20$ for that. And I ref basketball games. I get 5-8$ per game.(the new guy running the PAL, hates me, so i dont get any games now.) Theres always ways to make money in your nieghborhood, i suggest you start looking for them. (and i plan on getting a REAL job over the summer at a landscaping place, because they pay great money.) PS. My parent NEVER gave me money for paintball, or any else that I wanted. |

| i dont know about all the above, but personally, what i do is sell myself into prostitution, i may not look like much, but they call me the human powertool ^ ^. after i do that i tipically get loans from the rich nerdy **edited**s, that works pretty good. then there is drugs. selling drugs is pretty good, but prostitution is the best |

ya i dont get a **edited**ing penny from my parents either...... i guess i kind of do but thats because me, my bros and dad shingle houses and that kind of stuff so i make 12 bucks an hour.... so get of your lazy ass and work..... and im 14 so dont say you cant get this kind of job either |

| Well personally, i have a job. It's definetly not worth it. I get 5.50 an hour making subs and cleaning 5 hrs a day (easy work) while my managers and co-workers **edited** at me about how **edited**ty of a job ive done or how i can improve. It is definetly not worth my time or effort, because I have other things to do, and have a life outside of that **edited** job with **edited** people. Instead,start your own buisness that no one else has in your area that people need and you can make money off of so you arent caught in my situation. p.s. HOLD OFF WORK AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,U'LL BE DOING IT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. |

Mark, you sound like an idiot. No one will support you. I can barely follow what you were trying to say, but from what I get is that you tried to get a job somewhere and you started talking like you were so cool because you can drink booze and smoke, and the woman working there realized you weren't the intelligent type and told you to bugger off.

I'm doing something good for the community, so that makes up for the
lack of income.
