i got my first checking account at 5, but i wasnt allowed to spend the money in there without my parents permitting it, i started off with 400 dollars that my dad put in there and then the rest iwould have to put in and intrest built up, im supposed to use it torwards a car, but then my rich grandmother came in and put 8thousand in my account and then another 8 thousand, and shes already got my college money straight. so i know what i will get my car with. but i will buy a cheap car, no sense buying a 30 some thousand dollar first car, id rather get a nice used car and save the rest of the money for something else. everyone who gets a nice first car fucks it up.
