What if he stops paying for your cell phone, how are you going to pay for it.

Don’t say you never asked for it. That’s the usual excuse of freeloaders!!!

its true the only reason they got it for me was so they can keep in touch with me

Give him the cell phone back and tell him you don’t need it.

I won’t pay, I won’t pay ya, no way
Na na why don’t you get a job
:)

Get a job!!!

If you work now you can keep all the money you make and save up for a car… I wanted to work when I was a kid. I bought a Kawasaki 125 when I was 15 with my own money and I thought I was a superhero.

car? off the point…kinda…my bro is giving me his car, so i dont have to worry, its a sweet convertable, no i dont know what make, yes i do watch top gear.

but anyway, what are you good at and enjoy? see i work in a kennels, i get like 20 per day, that cause im young tho, go for smething you like, weekend jobs are easy to find.

I don’t think they want you to get a job so you can get a car. They want you to get a job so you can contribute to your own expenses. Being 17 years old is expensive. Food, clothes, etc., etc.,. That’s a responsibility that you are going to have to assume. Give the poor guy some money for living at his place. Don’t be lazy and don’t be a cheapskate!

Sorry if I sounded too blunt, but when I was 17, I had two jobs and I was going to school full time and my mom still could not make ends meet.

look wot i did tothe most popular post!!!

Yeah I don’t think I would give anyone any money for living expenses… they’re supposed to take care of you until you are 18. Screw that get a dirtbike!

yer, but its good to have a job ready for when you move out, that way you alreay have money comming in.

I said get a job! Just keep the cash. Plus vampress has a point about saving so you will be ready when you do move. Maybe get a nest egg and then get a used motorcycle. WTF they get 80 miles per gallon and the insurance is incredibly cheap!
