I didnt have money when the economy was good, and I still dont. But then again I live at home, still in high school, and dont have to pay for college classes (running start program). Only expenses I had were gas and working on my car.
But I have also noticed a large drop in buying, and large increase in selling here. To make money while Im in school Ive been buying/selling parts and its getting less and less economical, and less people are willing to spend money for parts.
