Freelancing. My parents gave me $4k to buy a car at the beginning of the summer. Not really enough to buy anything decent. I bought my teg with money I had saved up for the past couple years and insurance money from when I had my truck totaled. I also dont spend my money on fancy sterio systems, big screen TVs, and lots of other expensive crap. I buy only what is needed. Because of this I usualy have a surplus of money. So every once and a while I buy something nice for my car.
