Re: Christmas Funds
I'm 22. My parents paid for college, so I haven't asked for Christmas gifts since around 17/18.

Re: Christmas Funds
[ QUOTE ]
While growing up my parents always allocated $350 to Christmas for my sister and I, each. I'm 24 now, so you could imagine about 15 years or so where I really cared what I got. My mom just asked me again today if I've thought about what I wanted and I broke out into the inflation talk and how $350 today isn't the same as $350 several years ago. She tried telling me how I have a hard enough time spending $350, how would I spend more? Well, with higher prices, you buy one thing worth waiting for christmas for and it's over. So it's harder to find things that are 25-50$$ to actually feel like you're getting your money's worth. Now my mom is saying to write down everything I want and she will do what she can. So I say, "you act like money is hard to come by." My dad has a pretty good job. He has a 2007 Nissan, we just built an addition onto our house, and my parents just bought a 46" LCD flatscreen and HDTV. I know Christmas isn't all about the gifts, but it's a tradition of my family. Plus, it's that time of the year when I can actually have my parents buy me what I want without me having to spend my own money. How much do your parents allocate for you? And what are some things worth having this year? I'm looking into a Nintendo Wii, but I'm not sure. I already have a regular XBOX that is coming close to [censored] the bed.

Re: Christmas Funds
My parents just kind of like, buy me what they want. And sort of what I want, but it's never the same once you're, you know, an adult.

Re: Christmas Funds
In all seriousness I hope you are drunk or being a bad policeman and are cracked out. Otherwise you are a completely spoilt, ungrateful [censored] of a child. I am 26 and am happy with boxers and socks from my parents, because the reason I am in a position to be able to afford anything that I ACTUALLY want myself is largely due to the start they gave me in life.
I'm sure it used to be a tradition for you to put up a Christmas tree together, and leave stuff out for Santa. Are you moaning that you don't get to do this any more? |
