Many years ago in a distant land called before you could get a fuckin' job, it was tough to get money if your parents hated you.

When I was 15 I wanted to buy the supplys to build a MAME arcade cabinet for my room. I already knew what was needed and all that jazz, but despite my need for fun, parents wouldn't buy me all the crap needed, wood, plexiglass, buttons, and a simple stick you could find online. Dirt cheap.

What did you always want but couldn't get due to unemployment 

Nintendo 64...

Playstation 3...

I always wanted to get the newest Power Ranger action figures but my mom complained that they were too expensive Same thing with pay-per-view movies and events too.

Now that I'm employed, my money goes to gas and food.

Pwnt. Yeah, once you get the money, there's a hell of a lot less stuff to spend it on. Seriously, when I got a job I stopped playing videogames completely because it was too expensive and I wanted to save up for contacts or Lasik surgery or something (I realized that I couldn't get the damn surgery because I was a minor WHATEVER). So now I'm using the same, goddamn glasses that I've had since 3rd grade (I spent all my money on food because I was sick of eating RAMEN NOODLES and SLOPPY JOES all fricking year).

I've always wanted to finish so many projects though. Wanted a tree house, a go-cart (oh god I still want to make one), electric scooter, anythign that moves really. Right now I have all this...junk in my room. Busted LCD monitors that I wanted to turn into WACOMs or something cool but didn't have the money to buy the damn tablets. I even stole a school projector so I could make a LCD projector videogame entertainment system but NOOO I don't have plexiglass to mount the chips in. Heh. I even have a DirecTV satellite dish that I wanted to turn into a wifi dish antenna and mount on my (imaginary) car or something, but I didn't have the money to buy copper/network adaptor. God, and that thing is right next to my bed because there's nowhere else to put it. Every time I wake up a bust my feet on the damn thing.

This topic is depressing.

EDIT:

I bet if you had the cash for it, you would buy an extremely large, powerful, penis-shaped vehicle.
