Lottery? Heh, I wish. I just work. A lot.

Aside from going to school full-time (on scholarship, thankfully) for my Computer Engineering degree, I also work as a consultant doing software engineering and development, data warehousing, web development, etc. I also do some freelance photography to keep things interesting.

I purchased my SD when I was 20...
But I didn't have to pay full retail price

You guys should try getting insurance on one of these things when you are 20!!!
And once they have accepted the truck, follow up with a 700+hp car...
If you are lucky you will get to walk out of the insurance agents alive (but you will be broke).

Amen. Try about $320/month, and that's with no tickets and no wrecks on my record. Being a 21-year-old unmarried white male is as bad as it gets...

Spot on tvsjr.
I am in the same boat as you.
Mine is about US$275 per month (for the truck).
Don't even ask me what it is for my car, I may cry.

Dang it! I actually had to think about for a minute. 37 for another 2 weeks, does that still count as young?

btw, Just made the switch from Dodge to a 2005 SD CC LB and thus far am quite pleased.

Talking Advantage To Being Ancient

I see all you young whippersnappers are paying through the nose for insurance. My 2003 F-250 costs me about $1200 per year for $500, 000 liability, $250 deductible comprehensive (that's fire & theft), and $500 deductible collision. Age DOES have its advantages---and disadvantages.
