But I wanted to know, especially to the people who bought it themselves, how they went about saving and such. i need some tips.
Basically, just get money. Simple as that. Also it's very important that you factor in insurance costs, maintenance, registration, etc. etc.
Happy hustlin'

obviously even with the job the OP has it might not be the best idea to get a car if he's gonna be making 500$ a month. insurance is going tobe at least $200, gas maybe $50-100, then right there is already more than 1/2 of the month's paycheck. if something breaks...dude's not gonna beeating the whole month

On some corny but real stuff you don't have to work a minimum wage job ever. You are better than that. Read the book "The Power of Now" byEckhart Tolle no bs its inspiring.

For a grad present I got an 07 Hyundai Sonata for the low, because my aunt works for Hyundai down in its LA headquarters.
Me, my mom, and my dad each chipped in $1000.
I'm working to pay off the rest of it right now.
