My birthday is very soon.
I'm asking for a Blackberry. Life isn't all that great for me OR my mom right now, big move, etc. which is why it's going to make it hard to get a cellphone for my birthday. But, do you think this a good argument?
I think I should get a cellphone because:
For example, If I go out to the movies and spend all of my money on the tickets, popcorn, etc. and I tell her to pick me up at say 8:00pm, and we are able to get into a earlier movie which ends at 6:00, a cellphone would make it ALOT easier to get a ride back. A phone would show that I'm responsible, and she's already thought about buying me one. She pays for my bus pass for school each month ($45) but since it's getting warmer, me and my friends decided we are going to walk. I get $25 a week for lunch, I could ask for just $5 and save the rest for the phone bill.. Which is about $57. My sister had a phone by the end of grade 8. I also plan to do MUCH more texting than calling.
That's it. Anything I should add, take out? I don't want to NOT get a phone! Thanks, everyone.
I never said I couldn't afford it. With the move thing, she's just got alot else to pay for, and everything is very stressful and depressing.
Yeah, I know about the data plans..
I've tried to do the calculations as best as possible, but either way, if you take 45 dollars a month (Bus pass) add 100 dollars for 4 weeks of lunch money, (I plan to bring lunch, or just text instead of eat, lol!) It's wayy more than enough. Even the lunch money is enough.
