Hey there ace, I'm fathobo, and I've been playing with =(eGO)= for 8 months and am from the TF2 Division. I'm 17 years old and am going to start being a soccer referee and start making money for it. Which, entitles me to buy things that I feel like I WANT not NEED. I am going to tell you the truth, tell your parents you want this product because you have the money to pay for it in a respectable but strong tone, please let me know your age also, but tell them that, you have to start becoming responsible and buying things in which return may teach you a life lesson, by, I bought this product it helped me throughout many of the obstacles in my life or, this product wasn't worth my money and I will think a little more carefully when I buy a product.
Now, when I decide to buy a certain product a $100+, I look at my options.
1. Not buying the product.
2. What other products can I spend my money on besides this product which my be even more beneficial in the future.
3. Doing excessive research on the product before coming to a conclusion that it is a well worth product and that I won't have to replace it in a year or two.
I bought a pair of Beats by Dr.Dre headphones which are noise-canceling, these headphones are just for music, and I mean, JUST FOR MUSIC. I will tell you the truth, I had the money for 6 months to buy these, which were $300 dollars. I took a long amount of time doing research on them, I mean, a really long time, until I came to the conclusion that, I am a musician and therefore in order to increase my ability to make better music, I should be able to hear the music correctly. AND I expect these headphones to last a long amount of time because of the treatment I am going to give it throughout my period of using them. The reason they
I don't like people, that I talk to that say, I want to buy this product because it is cheap. Why do you want to buy it? I don't want to hear that, it is "cool" it improves your "gaming." Those aren't really legitimate reasons to tell your parents why you want to buy the product.
Now, let me tell you why your parents MAY not allowing you to buy this product, these are just my opinions.
1. The economy, think about how your parents are getting through these days, depending on how old you are, think these through, and ask questions bud.
2. Your parents may be thinking of other useful things you could use your money for, maybe not for education but, maybe an Ipod, a new cellphone, maybe they think you are even responsible enough to save up enough money to pay for half of a cars down payment when you get old enough to buy/drive a car.
3. It just simply isn't worth it, your future may be at stake because your getting bad grades or your just too unfocused, and later on they know, that you will thank them.
I've asked a lot of these questions NOW, especially number 1. Parents don't want kids to come up to them and say, can you buy this because it is cheap and my clan is sponsored and blah blah blah. They hate that, a fairly large percent of our parents in this generation believe that games are going to be the downfall of this generation and that this is not a legitimate product to buy on their time and hardworked earned money until you have a job and you can buy it yourself.
Sorry if this is long, but, let us know how old you are, it may help to the cause of the Novint Falcon you want to buy and the answers we are giving you to obtain that Novint Falcon even it is coming from your own pocket.
