All far more honorable solutions...

**woke26** · March 11, 2003, 11:05

if you can spend 10 dollars a week to pay back, you might as well make a paying plan with the store where you buy it.

Im actually going to build it myself and since i dont have a credit card(only check) id have to save up the money or have the money upfront.

also consider this will be coming out of a food budget of 40-50 dollars a week.

would another possible solution be to use excess from my student loans? or is it better to leave that alone and not run that up?

To answer in order-- NO and I hope to raise my children to be happy without needing expensive things

and of course your initial plan is wrong, wrong wrong-- No merit -- no honor-- no responsibility

You have a decent computer now and if you want a new one, you are faced with an adult-type decision as to allocating your resources to get what you want

and shame on you for mentioning your dad's trip as justification-- he probably earned the money-- you can spend the money YOU earn as you wish

i dont have a very high opinion of my dad because he is cheap, and mismanaged my college money with bad speculitive stock purchases. He can do whatever he wants with the money he makes, but he shouldnt tell me he will help me financially with things and then take it back and yell at me "IM NOT MADE OF MONEY"

Yes, He is.

2 computers? A Car? 3 squares a day and a roof over
yer head? and college paid for.

If i were yer dad, and i found you destroyed two computers to get a new one out of me. I'd throw you out into the street for a week of the "school of real life"

Nothing like going cold & hungry to take the spoiled selfish brat of you right quick.

im going to school for music production and will be using my computer a lot for it. my 1ghz is already struggling with my current music setup which isnt even being used to half the maximum of what i would use it for.

Music production doesn't eat up CPU time at all.

**MRT144** · March 11, 2003, 11:32

2 computers, 1 of which i bought myself, the other which is from 1996 which he used extensively for Red alert. a car i bought myself. no meals a day unless i buy it.

a roof over my head? got me there. although my mom would love to have me live with her despite her financial difficulties.

i could live on the streets but why waste what my mom has and is doing for me?

and yes, i earned part of my college money.

UR, im actually doing a lot of virtual synth design and computer intensive music production.

Stop whining!

Its obvious your parents help you out . . your mom bailed you out wrt your car and you are talking about taking a road trip while complaining about not having enough money for a computer

Grow up, skip the road trip and buy the computer with some credit or a purchase plan. This is real world-- don't expect someone to hand you something just because you want it

**Urban Ranger** · March 11, 2003, 11:43

You don't need a road trip. In fact, you don't even need a car. If you sell your car, plus both of your computers, plus the money you saved from not having a road trip, you will have more than enough $ to buy a new computer.

**MRT144** · March 11, 2003, 11:47

thats the thing, my mom doesnt want me to sell the car because of what ive invested in it and what she has invested in it. Youre right, i dont need the car, and i would actually like to see the piece of crap go.

I feel like i cant do anything i want because everyone has a hand in my pie.

Then cut loose from both of them, Your mom can't afford you and yer dad you can take or leave as you please.

Sell the frickin' car and save a bundle of cash outflow, gut "your" computer and buy new parts with the car money. Go to College and don't ask eithier for a thing ever again.

**MRT144** · March 11, 2003, 11:49

i dont intend on asking them for anything ever again. i already feel guilty as hell when i do now. especially when i ask my dad for money for food

You don't seem guilty if you would even contemplate trashing two computers to get another one
