Ok, so i've decided that I want to start playing Pokemon Diamond. But, I have no money.
The upside is... my mum gives me $30 every two weeks to spend on whatever i want.

Should I ask her if I can have $300 in advance and not get the $30 a fortnight for the next 20 weeks, which is 5 months... which would practically be Christmas.

I've thought of a few upsides to doing this:

1. I get to start playing Pokemon Diamond right away (duh)
2. When I turn 16 i'll start getting youth allowance of $190 every fortnight. What's so great about this? My birthday is in January...
3. My mums cat is pregnant and i get to keep one of the kittens, because my other cat ran away.


P.S - The reason I want Diamond and not Pearl is... Dogs are better than Chickens.
P.S.S - I don't know what number 3 has to do with anything. XD
P.S.S.S - Did you guys hear that Bernie Mac died. I'm all sad now... D=

what do you need the $300 for. That is one of the crucial details

Yeah, unless you need a ds, and then it would only be around $100 plus the game, which is around $30. So what else would the $300 be for besides more games?

Ah I see. Well, you'd only need about $200 then. But if I were you, I'd buy a router instead. Its much cheaper that way. You only pay $50 once instead of over time spending more and more.

*googles exchange rate* You get a DS for like £10.00 cheaper than I could. Your game cost £3ish more. If someone was to offer me money for the next 5 months for nothing, or a DS and Pokemon. I'd totally choose pokemon !! When I was 15 anyway lol Now there is no way I could live without money. What if you want some money for other stuff ?? you'll be straight back to your mum asking for more, that's how you get into debt lol. But Pokemon is so worth it. Beg or borrow !!
