How Do I Get My Parents to Help Me Buy A Pc?

[Pugs501]

I used to stock and move around product at Walgreens. I know your pain.

It's not a pain!  It's satisfying because of my OCD

I am 15 and in California the age requirement is 16. I want to get my pc in 2 weeks for black Friday.

*Cough* just rake leaves for money.

We do have some money because my mom also works but they wouldn't like for me to waste 400$ on a pc. 

Get a Job / Sell your Consoles / Help neighbours (do chores for them) etc.

I want to buy a PC now due to the fact that I live very close to Micro Center and would like to go there for Black Friday. It is my favorite store!

Word on the rumour mill is that Black Friday and Cyber Monday happen every year, could wait it out a bit and get something better?

 

I know what it's like to not exactly be the definition of financially secure, Heck I have a single parent working 3 jobs to keep us afloat. Difference is I work 3 jobs as well as being in my final year of High School to make ends meet, my computer in my signature is a mix of lucky RMAs with Corsair and saving up for at least 3 years. When I got into computers we were still with the HD 7XXX / GTX 6XX Graphics cards, I remember watching Black fridays come and go, and remember looking at the eye candy of the R9 / GTX 700 series and the Z87/Z97/X99 launches wishing I was related to Bill gates too. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. You're trying to make the lemonade right now without the lemons. It'll all come in due time, save up and you'll get there in the end. Patience is a virtue.

I have no sympathy. Don't try to get your parents who are not in the best financial situation to give you 200$. Just wait, save allowance, sell stuff (I sold my ps3 for my computer)

Hello I am currently desiring to purchase a budget PC that costs a total of 450$. At the moment I have 150$ so i need around 300$ more. It is a gaming PC and my Mom is the only one who knows that it would be for gaming. I haven't told or asked my dad due to the reason that he doesn't get his paycheck that much due to an incident. I would ask him but I know his answer would be a straight NO. He never really supports me for anything nor really likes me at all. I have good grades at school, 4 B's which are an 80percent of passing a class and 2 A's which are 90%. They used to pay my phone on a monthly basis which was 35$ and get me a bus pass for school which was 40$. I have decided to not take the bus, help them save money and walk it to school everyday. My school is 2.5 miles away from home, an hour and a half walk which I do not mind. I also do chores at home to get payed like 10$ a week. I have sold some of my ps3 games to get money but it isn't enough. I do not want to sell me ps3 nor my psvita. My parents want to go to Las Vegas for Christmas and give me and my sisters like 80$ but I would prefer to stay home and them give me money but I know they do not want that. I honestly hate going to Las Vegas Nevada but, Oh Well. I am really interested in computers and I told them that if they help me buy a PC I can pursue the career of computer science or anything in that field. My mom told me to stop bugging her but I really WANT A PC. Also, the only person who supports me is a friend who is into PC's and not my family ._.

 

Wall of text. We don't need any more prepubescent children playing pc games. There's enough already.

There are like no leaves that fall where I live, and there are workers who already mow the lawns and stuff.

You are right, thank you.

can't really do much from what your writing im guessing your parents aren't in a great financial standing really nothing you can do besides get a job or wait

Linus' kids are lucky to have a tech for a dad, it means he'd actually know what he's talking about. My gf's dad on the other hand..the man thinks a 400-500 dollar rig is "shady" and that a 100 dollar laptop is just as good. I wouldn't be surprised if he also believes the internet is made of a system of tubes.

Well it was a pain for me because of all the numbers, then customers and their kids would always ruin my organization.
