Money Management is the best way. If you are really dedicated and making ends meet with what you normally make now get a second job that is just for car money.

Re: Where do you get your money for the car lifestyle?
my parents bought my car, and pay for my insurance as long as i can put 100 dollars a month in the bank to save so i have money for college.
i work two jobs during summer, i pay for my gas, food(sometime parents give me some money if i'm eating alot), but i've payed for everything that's gone on my car, it's not anything impressive, but i've put about 3500-4000 into it in the last year

do something on the side. i do car repairs and such for cheap. i charge $150 to install a clutch on most imports, and have done it quite a few times. i can do a d or b series honda clutch in about 3-4 hours and do it better than most mechanics. $150/3hours=$50/hour

* Building great credit
* making smart business decisions
* do NOT get married...the fun stops there
* Knowing your limitations (don't get over your head)
* making all your payments on time
* network to get the right connections of people in the know
* Don't jump into anything unless you've taken enough time to come to a rational decision
* Don't rely on anyone else with financials. Do it yourself. Much more rewarding.
