What I don’t understand..

by Josh Newsome on Jul.03, 2008, under Life

Well I don’t understand a lot, obviously. But just recently my parents have thrown me into a state of confusion. I have been saving up for a new apple MacBook for a few months now. Well yesterday I decided that I had saved enough to go ahead and buy it. Last night I was talking to mom about it, and she got totally pissed off because she said she has no idea how much it was going to cost and that if I needed a new laptop I should try and find something cheaper.

Ok, here is how I view Apple computers vs. other computers. The Apple computer I have right now is awesome. Love every bit of it. I am getting a new one, because I am ready for an upgrade, and seriously what is wrong with that. If I were to customize a PC to do all the things like I want, that would be the equivalent of an Apple, I would pay probably the same amount. But an Apple computer is what I wanted, so that is what I got.

Now what confuses is me, is they are furious with me, because I spent that much money. Ok.. one question.. WHO’S MONEY WAS IT!?!?!

My money. I earned it, no one gave it to me. I didn’t ask for any money. I mean what am I making money for if I can’t buy what I want with it? I could have spent a lot more money, but I sacrificed a few details of the computer so I wouldn’t spend so much. They can SERIOUSLY get over it, since it is done, and there is nothing them or I can do about it. If they would like for me to send it back, all they need to do is give me about $140 for the re-stocking fee that I was informed that Apple has. But.. that won’t happen, because I am not sending it back.

I think they main reason they are mad is because they told me I needed to keep at least $1000 in my savings account, in case something happened to my car and it needed repairs. Well right now, only thing I really need is new tires.. and I have the money for that, or I will in a couple of weeks. What they don’t realize is that I am young, I like new things, and I have money right now, and I am still making money, so it doesn’t bother me to spend that much money, because I know that it wont take long to make it again. I mean, what is the use in having a lot of money if you don’t spend it? It would be as worthless as having no money at all.

I am done.
