Money Issues! Help?

Archive: 30 posts


My parents, being the "oh, i forgot one thing about our deal" kinda parents, said I have to pay for my new copy of Little Big Planet...

The original deal was that if i helped my parents every day, i would get it...

Can anyone give me some tips on how to get some fast cash?

Here's the quickest and easiest way:

Go to a bank.
Put your hand under your shirt and point towards the banker. (This should make it look like you have a gun).
Simply say "Hand over the money".
Run for your life.

Top tip: For a more realistic effect don't forget to wear one (http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/balaclava004.jpg) of (http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/balaclava004.jpg) these (http://www.denbigharmysurplus.co.uk/army-stores/balaclava004.jpg)!

Im getting that Greatest Hits! Edition of LBP, so its like, 30 bucks.

I hope i can just use my *good looks and boyish charm to convince my parents to buy me it again when were at the mall.

*Flipping my hair and my tendency to bring whatever I want into a conversation.

Un-do (where possible) all the work you did for them. Seeing as how you aren't getting anything out of it, might as well make it a bit more annoying for them.2010-07-21 19:20:00

You can't mooch off your parents forever, so my advice would be to find a job. Depending on your age this could have varying levels of success, but believe me; if you look hard enough for long enough, you will find one.

Plus, that way, you can wait until the day your parents ask YOU for some money.
"Hahaha" You say,
Hahaha indeed.

I have a certain way to make sure they complete their end of the bargain...

You see, whenever they say something, like "Oh that house is green"
I would say
"In Little Big Planet, you can make a billion green houses."

To the point where they give in and give me the game just to make me shut up.

Lol, that sounds like a brilliant idea.

But would your parents really point out that a house is green? Or was that just an example? LOL.

Yeah.. and then you'd better hope they have a PS3 in the Juvenile Remand Centre!!

All stupid suggestions aside, maybe your parents actually don't have the $$ at the moment? In any case, it's great experience to figure out how to pay for stuff yourself. Here are some tips from a parent (me) who also makes her kids pay for some of their own stuff:

- Offer to mow neighbours' lawns (or tidy them up). Old neighbours won't be able to pay you very much but you'll feel good about yourself.
- Make a little "odd jobs for cash" flyer and put it in the letterboxes of people you know. Not strangers.
- Ask family members/friends parents if they have any work for you to do.. and DON'T give them the sob story of "my parents are making me buy this myself". Lemme tell you from experience, adults like to encourage kids with a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit. If you say "I want to work to earn some $ so I can pay for this myself", they'll think "good for you!" and find stuff for you to do, and sometimes even way overpay you.
- Offer to walk people's dogs for them if they work and don't get the time. Ask them what they think It'd be worth.

Hope that helps in some way. Good luck and I'm sure you'll get there if you apply yourself Cheers!!

Find an empty field.
Convince the Army that you've created a new, completely invisible stealth bomber and parked it there.
Sell said imaginary bomber for $700 million.
Repeat.

Pawn your PS3.
JK

I personally like Babydoll's idea, but you could always try acquiescing to your parent's addendum.

I always thought the best way to make money was taking kids lunch money. 2010-07-22 01:19:00

Wait, so you did work for your parents and they said they would buy you the game, but didn't? Well, they have to stick to their end of the deal. Tell them being a liar isn't a good life choice. After all, an honest person is better than a liar.2010-07-22 22:43:00

That's not cool on your parent's end.

What worked for me when I was a kid, tell your parents you need something that makes them freak out. If you're a girl, tell your dad you need new bras and underwear. Boy, tell mom you need a jockstrap or some other personal item that's awkard to discuss, lol.

What would work on me as a parent - tell them for the $60 they owe you, you'll crash with a friend and play LBP so they can have a date night.
