    You got to buy a car somehow. When I was 16 I got a job a McDonald’s just to do that. Took me 6 months of saving at $4.25/hr. to purchase a $2000 1979 Ford Bronco. Got 6 miles to the gallon and gas was around $.50/gallon. Insurance was around $25/mo. All of this and 4-6 CDs per payday was feasible on that pay.
