i know that theres alot of other people out there besides me that are struggling with life. meaning low on money, too many bills and stuff but still take up this lifestyle and do everything they can to build there dreams or just ride clean in a bagged mini period. lets hear your story and see you rides.

im 18 years old have a 2 yr old son. live in a 3 bedroom rental home paying 1000 a month plus all of our bills with my girlfriend and my son. high school dropout and work as a lumper making exactly 500 a week with no overtime.

have no ride right now. had to sell whenever times got very hard at one point but ive had:

1997 s-10 bagged on 20s with standard 2 link1989 s-10 blazer bagged on 20s with 2 link1994 toyota pre-taco bagged on 18s with 4 link

im starting to learn to save my money and have a little bit saved up and im gonna get another mini and start doing what i love and building another truck. im tired of renting cars from avis and hertz. but i have to get to work somehow and i cant walk 30 miles to and from everyday. lol

so lets see who else struggles and is barely making ends meet but still love this very expensive lifestyle with everything in them..

Look at the forums, CL, Mautofied and Ebay everyone is hurting and selling stuff. Now is the time to buy. Sorry you hitting such a low and hope you can get back into this crazy fun. Good luck.

I had to take a little break from this lifestyle due to kids and bills, but after working my ass off the last 3.5 years getting everything taken care of I'm back! Hang in there man, believe it or not but good things will come if you work your ass off and stay dedicated. A year ago I never thought I would be where I am today. I'm doing pretty well.

work hard, and ALWAYS put family first

Life gets better as long as you keep trying

Everybody goes through hard times. Set a goal and get get focused on acheiving it. Once you've got your house straight then look into building your dream. It'll come, just give it some time.

ya times a hard for a lot of people not just minitruckers

jus be glad you have a girlfriend and child to go home too some people dont have thatanymore. joplin MO lost a lot of people .

as far as a truck take care of your kid first an formost you will get way more from that than any truck you can build as they are gifts from god to us.hold your head high while working for $500 a week some dont have jobs.

I agree with the guy that said Daveramsey.com, it'll change your life. Try to listen to his radio show if you can!

forget about building a truck. Focus on your 2 year old.

Exactly! This is just a hobby your kid is way more important. Maybe its some thing you can do together some day but right now it sound like you need to put food on the table.

Keep your head up stay focused and enjoy what time you spend with your kiddo cause someday he will thank you for the time spent during him growing up. I thought I would never get to where I am at today on the verge of what I dreamed about in life. Its hard all the way around for alot of people like others said you have three things going for you that others don't a kid, girlfriend and a paying job. I got a fortune cookie the other day that says " ALL YOUR HARD WORK WILL SOON PAY OFF" just a lil food for thought.
