Longhairedhippy Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 You lucky sods. I get 3 pounds a day for lunch, that's it. Oh, and guess what? The school canteen's lowest priced item (a spoon) is 25p. God I hate them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats about 6 USD, so you still get more than me. Link to post Share on other sites
FeeFyeFoeFum Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Loads of different things Jowep, I have sold old comics and graphic novels, Mountain bike parts, Citadel figures (orks, space marines, elves - you name it), board games, etc. Pretty much just stuff from old hobbies or interest from days gone bye. Grin. Had a good run last year - made about £12-1500 or so. Link to post Share on other sites

destrukto Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 well... let's see... I once worked on a rifle and shotgun range... for absolutely horrendous wages, but I got free ammo... (please don't ask about the wages) For airsoft funds I usually resort to can deposits, in Michigan, cans are worth 10 cents As of right now I don't even have enough money to afford BBs This summer though... I'm headed to Birmingham Alabama to find work, probably in a saw mill, and maybe get some airsoft in while I'm down there Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 WTF is with all you spoiled kids! 80 dollars a month? 5 dollars a day for lunch? When I was in school, I was lucky to get a dollar to buy a drink.... Link to post Share on other sites
Rikkster Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Web design, earning anything from £15 an hour up to occasional silly money. Due to living in a stupidly expensive area I still never seem to have that much left over though Link to post Share on other sites

allenrice Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Software developer at lexisnexis, all the law ppl out there know who that is As for parents, only thing I ever got was a .75 lunch card because we qualified for them (representin the discount kids). Its kinda like a card that says ok your poor enough so heres a 2-3 dollar lunch for .75, because your poor but you need to eat Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Pocket money? POCKET MONEY? When I were a lad, if i even asked for pocket money, I'd get pelted with coal. And I had to pay for the coal. And there were no stockings in them days. You had to draw lines on the back of your legs with Bisto. Or perform sexual favours for an American.

oikoik Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 in my days there were no americans.. just blithering colonials... we were so poor they had to alternate with giving us a beating only once a month. and we took turns on who had the plague.. Link to post Share on other sites

guinnessman Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Beatings once a month? Beatings once a month? You LUCKY, LUCKY B*****D!!! When I were a lad, I had to work down t' mine 28 hours a day, come home, and maybe, if I were REALLY lucky, I'd get cuffed around the ear. AND I had to share a cardboard box (none of your fancy slums in those days) with twenty-seven people. Oooooohhh, young people today...... Monty Python-esque rantings aside, I have to say that looking at the various profiles listing a veritable armoury of airsoft weapons and then finding out that some of y'all have bought this stuff on incomes a fair bit ower than wot I earn for walking around doing nothing makes me feel kind of lucky. Although saying that, I do have that nasty Guinness habit to maintain....mmmm, Guinness..... Link to post Share on other sites

Zed Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Software developer at lexisnexis, all the law ppl out there know who that is Yes we know... Your Books On Screen update disks used to be shockingly bad to run. And if you couldnt guess i'm a Systems Administrator for a law firm. I buy airsoft stuff with my salary (get paid overtime too!), so not the worries you poor non-workers have. In fact i just paid over £10,000 in taxes to our wonderful governement, so you can work out what i earnt (or at least was taxable ) last year. The main problem is deciding if i need a particular thing, and where to store it, rather than how to afford it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 *cries* I can't decide if I should feel insulted or not....Tripod how many times do u get 80 bux...monthly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's supposed to be $80 every month. 40 every other week. Or 40 every week I'm at my mom's. So really it's $80 dollars for 2 weeks. I rarely actually take the money though. I usually just let it slide. I try not to be spoiled. Sometimes it's just so hard not to be though haha. Link to post Share on other sites
