As it has been hashed out in multiple posts, the shooter had a job and saved his money. Hourly pay is pretty good since the WuFlu was bestowed on us. Around here the lowest pay starts at $15/hour for 15 year olds who can only work the register to $18+ for closers/openers on the weekdays. As he lived with his grandmother, he probably didn't have to pay rent or for food so the pennies add up quickly. In 1983 I paid $2200 to "hotrod" my Camero's engine and I did that off a summer working full time and another three months part time at KFC for $5.50/hour. That was probably a minimum equivalent to the shooter's purchases.
Still $7.25 in TX, don't know about Wendy's.
That’s probably about right for MI too but every fast food restaurant in town advertises $11.50 to $15.00 an hour as a starting wage.
If grandma’s buying your groceries and giving you a free place to live, and probably paying his phone bill. It doesn’t take long to save a few thousand dollars and as was posted above he probably had a credit card.
