My parents are not letting me spend my OWN money

[AZwildcats]

I had this issue when I first got a job. I bought whatever I wanted and was living the "good life". One day I bought a couple shirts from Dillards, and when I went to start my car, i was almost on empty. I barely made it to a gas station on what was left in the tank. I walked to the cashier, opened my wallet, and realized I had just spent the last of my money on the shirts. I called my pops to transfer some money to my card, but he saw that I had just bought shirts. He gave me the "deal with it" response. I had to undergo a huge hassle of calling a buddy, borrowing some cash, wasting time, paying back that cash, and dealing with my parents. I learned my lesson


OP, buy your items, but spend selectively. If you show responsibility, your parents will ease up in the future

I'm 16 and all my snaps are vintage and were all purchased for less than $20.

Senior NT again trying to ruin our fun.

Good move by your father. Great life lesson. Tough love.

After seeing the hat you're trying to buy, please aware yourself so you don't get got with a fake TISA.

Cause 9 times out of 10, it will be.

It's your money at the end of the day you can do what you want. My parents let me spend my money on whatever I wanted and I 'm glad they did because all the shoes I bought I resold them on eBay and made the money back anyway.

Seriously OP. I'm proud to be a 17 year old that completely avoided the Snapback craze. If you buy one, don't be dumb enough to cop a TI$A. Hunt down vintage regular snaps. You'll thank me. You'll look like a true lame walking around like every other little Chris Brown and Tyga piggybacker. Those Black Cement IIIs though? Cop those. I have an early pair from Zyr12 that I got at the end of August and have wore those things at least twice a week since the start of September. Love them.

 

[king au]

OP, you're giving us chinese and canadians a bad name...you're 16, your mom is right about the snapbacks, not a good idea. You're gonna regret buying those less than a year from now. not being able to spend your own money...c'mon son. you were complaining about having a bank account but your mom owned it? it's not that hard to go to the bank and open up your own account.

Just wait till you get in college.. thats when you learn that you might have took a paycheck for granted when you were younger.
Spend some but stack as much as you can at the same time.

QFT cuz you never know when you might have to pay some random @$%*@*+! for college

 

[ill steelo]

Save your $ and buy a car a few years from now.

Thank me later.

First off your mom sound dumb as hell saying no one told you to work, what is that "teaching" you? You go out and get a job on your own and she basically telling you why you working in the first place. But don't blow your money, spend some but look for deals and def don't go the TI$A route. If you gonna waste your money at least learn to get your moneys worth. You'll find you can get what you want and still save some on the side if your smart, and later on you can get yourself a nice car, or when something comes up you really want youll have the money for it.

 

[imgreaterthanyou]

But listen to all these replies OP, I bought True Religion jeans like 3 years ago and haven't touched them in over 2.5 hahaha.

 

[cwrite78]

Holy crap those snapbacks are ugly.

Buy them op, and hope your mother beats some sense into you.

even "real" tisa hats are literally just a 5 dollar embroidery job at lids.....

i can't even knock Taz's hustle at this point, if someone's that thick headed to pay 500% profit for a snapback that was lying in a warehouse UNWANTED for decades

with a mere 5 dollarish stitchin.... #kayneshrug because fitteds put em outta business then hey, get that cake.

OP I suggest you get some vintage snaps that aren't overpriced.
Hit snapsteez.com or something and cop some really nice vintage snaps and spend a fraction of that price, save the rest of your money, and use it to enjoy life a bit.


Go out with your friends or something with the remainder of your bread. Use it to have a good time while still getting something you want.

Word, let him enjoy himself. Not like he's saving up for a car or a house at his age. He'll eventually learn the lesson y'all are throwin at him eventually.

Spend 10% save the rest.
