Get a job and buy it yourself like we all do and not be moochers and rely on your parents!!!!

Still does'nt stop him doing odd little jobs....
Go and cut some peoples lawns get a paper round....
When you have worked, saved up and bought what you wanted yourself you get a lot more pleasure out of it rather than it just been handed out on a plate

Completely agree scott. I worked with my uncle one week in the hols last summer ( i was 14) helping him re decorate. I was going to buy some new games for my ps2 but instead had enough for a w800i.
Ask your neighbors if you can do anything for them? Like scott said, mowing lawns is a good way to get a little bit extra.
Otherwise u could mooch, but dont expect something for nothing

I wash cars down my road for £10 a go. Extra if they want the interior done too.
I've done it for a year or two now at weekends and use decent cleaners like Auto Glym, not washing detergent and other stuff like that. Takes 1.5 to 2 hrs to finish a car. Longest time it took me was an interior/exterior wash of an R-Class and that was a little over two hours.

well, mowing an average sized lawn takes about 30 minutes and won't fetch more than half a dollar in sunil's place (india, i suppose)... twice a day, once a week, makes that ~50 dollars a year... how 'd that suffice... best option, atleast at my place, is to work in a call centre, a good one pays about 200 dollars a month for a few hours daily shift, 6 days a week, and you don't need a too much of a tech background either, but good comm skills...
