I hate spending money but I want things?
Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl. I have a job that I make pretty good money at but I only work 3 times ever 2 weeks. I want to buy new clothes and things but i hate spending my money. I want to save it for when I go to university or collage some day. I have no idea what i want to be yet. :$ But I feel like if I spend my money, I won't have enough later on in life when I really need it. I Really want a new laptop. The one I have is 3 years old and a lot of things are broken on it and sometimes doesn't turn on. I really really really want an Apple MacBook or some Apple computer product. They are really good quality but super expensive. I would ask my parents to help pay for it maybe spit part of the cost, but my dad hates apple products. He thinks Iphones for an example, are "silly toys that have apps" yeah, i want an iphone too. Thats not happening. But I just don't know what to do!
I want a lot of stuff too and have a job and money but hate spending it. Just ask yourself if you can live without it and its pros. Also imagine yourself with and without it. Treat yourself once in a while but don't go crazy. If you have enough money then maybe buy something big after you get all A's at school or something.
Keep saving!
It really all depends on HOW BADLY you want these things. That's very responsible of you to want to save for college, but you can save and spend at the same time, if you do it wisely.
I totally understand what you mean though because I set aside some of my paycheck specifically for me to buy things but when it comes time to buy something, i can't part with it lol
How much money do you have saved up already? If you have a decent amount, there's no shame in buying a new laptop especially since you said some of your things were broken. You can also look to see if you can find an apple that's cheaper, maybe an older model? In the end, if this laptop lasts you can bring it to college and it will be helpful anyway!
good luck and I hope whatever you decide turns out well.

- Things you hate about the new iPhone X? No home button requires you to hold the phone in front of your face to unlock, I'm used to waking up and just extending a finger, now I have to lift the phone, etc. | No way of charging and using earbuds simultaneously unless you additionally purchase the wireless ones. | Sometimes I'm not recognized with my sunglasses on, so I have to remove them to unlock. | FaceID takes longer to unlock than finger.
- Is it worth spending more money for an iphone 4s? I'm considering getting an iphone instead of my blackberry. I thought the iphone 4 was ok. The 4s is more money obviously but is it worth it for the extra? Or should I just get the 4?
- I want the iPhone 5s or 6 so bad, but I don't want to pay a ton of money? I currently have the iPhone 4 from Virgin Mobile and am only paying 35 dollars a month. I want the 5s or six so bad, but I don't want to pay full price for it and no more than 60 dollars a month for a plan. What should I do? Please help! (My 35 dollar a month plan comes with 300 minutes, unlimited text and data)
