Where Does the Money Come From?

I was just wondering, being 23 and working full time, how most of you can afford the guitars that you own? I mean with the past topic about age, most of you are still in high school, so please, enlighten me.

I dont spend anything on cloths. Maybe the only thing I dont buy nowdays. Yea, so I dont spend any money I make. Plus, since I have a base pay plus commission, you can make a shit load that way.

well its called credit card debt and using your student loans for what they aren't meant for. i don't even have a job and own over $2000 worth of guitars

im probably gonna get a 100% scholarship, so ill still probably take out some student loans... maybe ill buy a breedlove.

i think i like breedloves sound more than Taylors, and they just look incredible.. not to mention pinless bridges... hmm... what would i want in a breedlove.

i dont like the cutaways of the breedloves. but i do agree with you on the pinless bridge and my taylor actually has one since its older so i'm a big fan of that.

i think breedloves are so awesome... unfortunately they dont have enough variations of body styles... my best bet is a C22 (a deeper body with one of those sharp cutaways) - mmmmm

man... im really tempted. id be even more tempted if i had money
