i know money doesn't grow on trees BUT...?

Question

i found this purse yesterday at the mall.
it is $65.
i asked my mom for it and she said no.
i asked her if she could buy it for me now and take away my allowence to earn that money for it.
she said no.
i dont know what to do. i love this purse and i know it is a lot of money but there were only two left and i dont see the big deal i mean i would be paying for it with my own money and i havent gotten a new purse in months and my old one is falling apart.

what can i do?

Answer 1

my parents are just the same. idk, all i can say is SAVE im 16 im getting a job. already got 60 in my wallet and 250 in the bank save a lot and give urself pocket change. that purse sounds pretty nice. ur mom might not have enough right now, ask her maybe next week? like i said idk when she gets paid etc. u probly dont either. but if i had the money and my daughter wanted it that bad i would buy it. so its probably a money issue on her part. ask her someother day.

Answer 2

If you are young enough to still be getting an allowance you don't need a $65 purse, it's that simple and your mother understands that. Wait until you are older and earn a salary, then if you want to spend that big of a chunk on it you can decide that. Have you considered how hard your parents work for that much money? Give it some thought before you think they are being unfair.

Answer 3

That is why it is important to save your money so you can buy things you really want. I don't know how old you are, but young enough to receive an allowance.

So you should accept that your Mom won't purchase it for you, and save your money, you will either find another purse, or do odd jobs to make the money.

You will appreciate the purse more if you earn the money to buy it.

Good luck.

OH to be young again lol honey i wish i could tell you the last time i got to buy myself a purse blue jeans anything when you grow up you realize that money is hard to come by and bills come first your moms trying to teach you a lesson if you want something save your money for it and if its not there then well youll have that money for somehting else or you could keep saving and buy something beter. oh and did you ever think maybe your mom couldnt afford it right then either yu have no idea what it costs to raise kids and run a house hold these days

Answer 5

Parents just don't want their kids to walk all over them. That's all. She is trying to teach you a lesson on conserving money, cause in the real world, you can't just go out and buy 65 dollar items when you have bills to pay. It could also be that your mother just doesn't have the money for it right now, and doesn't want to tell you that. Why not go out and mow lawns, or walk dogs for extra money to buy the purse? I used to shovel driveways of snow for extra money when I was younger. Good luck.

Answer 6

For crying out loud! It's a purse. It's not medication needed to save your life.

Get over it.

Tone down your expectations. You don't need a $65 purse. If you really need a new purse, find one that's similar at a more reasonable price.

Answer 7

I don't personally know your mom, so I can't help you crack her.

Even though you would be paying for it with your own money, maybe she's trying to teach you how to be a smart shopper.

Maybe you can state your case to her in a mature and formulated way?

Answer 8

earn the money doing something like babysitting or other things for your age.

Answer 9

try to work around your neighborhood for the money, show responsibility

Answer 10

you can save your allowance.
