Why can't I get the new iPhone?

For Christmas. We have more than enough and apparently it's to expensive. My parents are always treating themselves with new clothes ETC. For Christ sake my dad bought a £700 piano out of the blue. I only get around £100 spent in Christmas for me. All my friends get like £450 spent on them. And they're no better off than we're. We're actually better off money-wise (NOT BEING A SNOB) it really pees me off. I get good grades ETC I'm in the tops set for everything but Maths. Which I'm 2nd best in my class at.

Sounds like your parents are teaching you the value of money. A phone is a phone - and its not all about money.

Well your dad probably works his *** off to get that money, and he probably saves up for all that stuff, like a piano. Not only that, if you have the perception that you are better off than your friends it is probably because your parents spend more money on things, and therefore have a less expendable income. The result will be in a few years you won't end up with an iphone that is already so outdated (because they upgrade so often), and also people will not think you are a bratty teenager.trust me, whenever I see people my age obsessing over the apps on their iphone, I think to myself "get a life you teenager" even if they are 30.truth be told most people think that to. Get a new windows phone and don't spend any time on it.learn an instrument or something. I don't know if you are a guy or a girl, but you will be way more attractive if you are not obsessed with your phone in the real dating world.

Because you can't afford one

Unless you are paying your own rent, paying your own food bills, paying your own electric bills and paying your own water bills, then don't start acting like a know the financial situation of others.
