even when I have enough money for something good that costs a lot of money, they dont let me buy it and instead make me buy the cheaper alternative. I could have a beast PC right now with money I saved up, but my parents made me go with the cheaper $400 laptop, even though its my money
the funny part?
when my laptop was going extremely slow and I told them they were like "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"
aka "YOU GET WHT YOU MADE ME PAY FOR" |

thats also why;
I dont have a phone I have a $99 tablet when I could get something good like a Samsung Galaxy Note
I paid for my stuff myself myself, when I could have something better with the money I saved up

$400 is actually ok for a gaming pc. If your saving for a $2000 PC/Laptop then of course they won't let you buy it.
$400 is not crappy. The HP Pavillion is that much and the PC I'm using right now is an almost 10yo $75 PC.
YOUR LUCKY YOU GET TO HAVE A $400 COMP. And yes it is extremely slow and lags even on one bar quality on simple games.

| like youre jsut stealing the enjoyment from yourself, instead of complaining about what you dont have, be grateful for what you do have. of course if you think about everything else out there its going to seem less mesmerizing but you can still have a fun experience on it smh. |

@epic
how I view it, if I have the money that I earned doing work myself, I should be able to buy what I want (except alcohol, drugs, things that my parents would definitely not let me buy)
now I could understand my parents not wanting me to buy a $2,000 gaming pc, but I had to beg them to let me even BUY a pc
at first they were like "youre not allowed to buy a PC above $100" (hence the $99 tablet), but after I begged and annoyed them a lot, they eventually were like "ok u can buy something above $100 but do not go above $400"
kinda funny because theyre giving me a budget on my own money, when im not daving up for anything else |

400 dollar laptops are garbage
you have to spend about 550-599 to get something that'll last you for a while. 400 dollars is still in the "i bought this at walmart because i'm an idiot who doesn't know any better" pricerange, or the "i have to buy a new laptop every year and a half because i buy garbage and i have the opinion that this is just how things are" mindset

"400 dollar laptops are garbage"
exactly what I told my parents
of course whenever I bring price and computers up they play the commodore 64 card, which is:
"WHEN I WAS A KID WE ONLY HAD A COMMODORE 64 AND THE ONLY GAME WE HAD WAS PONG AND JEIDKSFISIFNDJEJFNSKDK" |

When they tell you "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAYED FOR!"
Tell them "I GOT WHAT YOU MADE ME PAY FOR!"

@rainbows
I dont like making my parents angry because im already known as the "bad" kid, even though my little siter sneaks out of the house and walks to the hood every night, then gets "positive encouragement" rewards (iPod, MacBook, anything apple) |
