Man, I Hate This 2024
Kevin Beachy reply :
Its so hard whether to decide to go to Walmart or just get this. The only way i can earn money is by washing vehicles around here, and to make it worse, i only have 50% of it to spend, and i am in the middle of school and i couldn't' get a job any way. I fight with the urge just to go to Walmart and get a few things or making a bigger order off tw. Its just SO hard to decide, since i only get $5 a vehicle, and the weather is so cold right now!

Get what you need and what is the best price not just something to appease you at this time. it is gonna be a little while before the frog bite is on so if the TW price is better, you would be better off getting it from there.
Eccs reply :
If the weather is so cold then why not wait longer till you make an order like that. You won't be able to fish them anytime soon really. I know it's hard for me to do too, but makes more sense. If anything I would pop over to walmart and slowly knock one thing at a time off that list. Makes more sense money wise and picking up one or 2 things every once in a while will help keep the bait monkey away.

Try walmart clearance first. You'd be amazed what you can finf there sometimes.

Yeah man I think your getting ripped at $5 a car, I hope your not floating the cost of supplies aswell hahaha
I tend to buy my gear offline as the stores around me don't have that great of a selection. Also they are cheaper online. Even if only a few dollors saved combined, that can be one more lure lol

I really think they should put spro popping frogs in walmart:)

Kevin, Patirnce young man. I'm sure you've read the several threads with regards to need vs. want. There's a ton of sound advice in those threads.
My advice to you Is this: If at this time in your life you don't "need" something don't buy anything. I would save your money, all of it, and make one big purchase of the things you need some time this Spring.

Can you snow shovel?? I made 250 bucks in two little snowfalls here in NC this last week or two. That's my primary source of getting a lot of money fast. Yard work pays off but nothing like a snowstorm.
blackmax135 reply :
I can get all those thing at walmart. I know no walmart has all the same things. But you get what you can afford. Might not always be name brand stuff but hey my mom bought me a frog like the spro bonzeye off brand name about 5 years ago. Cheapest thing she could find; hooks are rusted all up and I still catch plenty of fish to this day

You must just be spraying the cars off cause I know plenty of people around here that wash cars and the suck; they get $20

I think what he is saying that his play money is $5 a car so the total is $10...i am guessing he has some good parents who are making him save the other half for something, dare i say, more important than fishing stuff
of course i could be wrong though....i usually am

Well, they dont have 7 vehicles i doubt:) I can do the inside and get another 5 bucks though, and thats is the good thing! so, in one vehicle, i can make 10 bucks, and no, i dont spray them off, i wash them properly! It is just that we arent a rich family and that is all my mom and dad can afford to pay me, so i am thankfull that i can at least make that much money!

No, I mean that if i wash a vehickle for $5, i only have 2.5 bucks then. And yes, the other half is going right into savings!!! My parents were nice enough to buy a calf(we live on a farm) for me, and pay for all the feed and stuff, and then i sold it and got a fair price on it! I can't touch that money though(probably good). I have to admit i have a problem with spending money:(
ColdSVT reply :
Listen. I had a friend in FL that used to detail cars.
He used to detail my car twice a year to the tune of 250 dollars each time. He would spend 5hours plus doing it
He spent a few hundred bucks on a nice buffer and an additional few hundred on supplies every so many weeks.
Kid put himself through college and bought a lightly used pathfinder bayboat.
he know works for a car magazine
He turned 400 bucks into a college education and nice boat

That makes more since. The customer pays more than $5 right? You just get payed the 5 from your parents.

As long as it's snow. If you're going to shovel ice like I did charge like 3x as much. My driveway took around 10 hours because the ice was so thick and packed together. Had to use a shovel to break it up and then shovel it away.

Well, i don't wash other people vehicles, i just wash our own. and in fact, right now i am washing vehicles!
blackmax135 reply :
God bless all you northerners cause I sure wouldn't want to deal with all that. Last year here in the lowcountry of south Carolina we got 1/4 inch of ice and were out of power for a week people acted like the world was coming to an end. It did cause a lot of pines to fall on houses and roads.

Yeah we ran into that too. If you have three guys with a metal shovel it helps.
I'm an entrepreneur to the core. Rake leaves, shovel snow, clean weedbeds, mow lawns, wash cars, walk dogs, you name, I've done it. Never struggled for money. I'm just required to put away most of it. My mom doesn't understand my fishing "needs." She thinks all fishing baits go in the same category. "you just bought some baits! Why are you buying more?"

X2. I'm 15 and I wash service vehicles at a local appliances store on Saturdays and they pay $12-$15 per car. At $5 you might be getting ripped off lolOn 3/8/2015 at 12:50 AM, ColdSVT said:Cmon man. My nieghbors kid gets 12$ a car

Have you tried getting a job at a grocery store or something? I know you're only 14 but if you get a permit many stores will hire you.

I see. That could keep you pretty busy. Always thought I would like living on a farm. A lot of work, no doubt.

Being from Canada I find this quite humorous ! That's a regular occurrence up here. -30 (Fahrenheit) about -35 Celsius. Tons of snow, ice , wind you name it!
