ADVICE | TOUGH STUFF

Should I blow my savings?

 
I really want to buy my own computer. I have been saving my money for a few years now and have around $900. Now that I have enough for a computer, I’m starting to freak out. Should I really spend all that money at one time?

 

Good for you for saving so diligently, babe! When it comes to spending your hard-earned moolah, only you can decide what’s worth your entire savings…or even a small part of it. If you’re having second thoughts now that your goal is within reach, consider your quandary carefully. It might be helpful to go to a computer store just to see what your money could buy. If you want to spend all $900, you could probably get a pretty good comp. But for a fraction of that—say just a couple hundred bucks—you could purchase a portable netbook or tablet.

 

Also consider the other savings goals that are coming up. If you’re going to be driving soon, you might want to keep saving the money you make for a car. If there’s a pricey camp you want to enroll in during the summer, your money could go toward that. Or, you could keep it handy for college.

 

As I said before, only you can decide what to spend your money on and when to spend it. If it’s burning a hole in your pocket, consider purchasing something fabulous now and saving the rest for later. Or, divvy it up on small purchases—a little for an MP3 player, some more for a cute pair of boots. The choice is up to you!

MOD MOD MOD My school play is coming up soon! I'm really excited! Last year, it was Highschool Musical, and I was in 6th grade so I didn't want to try for a lead role, and I want a lead role SO bad this year, but I don't want Beauty because I can't exactly sing. My BFF said I could be the Teapot, but I don't know, will it be embarrassing? I already told my mom I wanted to be the Teapot, and she got all excited and even posted as her Facebook status "OMG! MY BABY GIRL BRIANA IS GOING TO BE A STAR! SHE'S TRYING OUT FOR A LEAD ROLE IN HER SCHOOL PLAY!" and she said she'd invite my WHOLE FAMILY, AND all of her friends! I wasn't exactly SURE that I wanted to be the teapot, I said I was thinking about it. My sister said my mom is just excised because SHE was always a lead role in her school play, and I'm the only one out of my 2 other Sister's who is into acting. What should I do? My Mom telling everyone just made me more nervous to try out. Please help! Briana

 

Hey chicky, tell your mom that she's making you more nervous by telling everyone. Let her know you haven't tried out yet, and you don't need people to know about it. She's just happy girl, so let her know. Smile Smile

OMG! I am in the same boat. I really wanted a laptop so i decided to save up, but now i have like a thousand dollars and im scared to spend it!! I decided to save it for college because im 14 and i really want to go to a good medical school. I'm thinking Harvard. So im saving it up to follow my dreams. Smile

You dont have to spend all 900 on a laptop, get one for half that much and save the rest. Having a laptop is great because you can take it anywhere and its easy to move from place to place without having to sit in one spot.

I like this guy, let's call him Liam, and Liam does a couple things which makes me think he likes me.... We've known each other since 2nd grade and now we're in 8th but we stopped going to the same school after 4th....(but he goes to my church). Anyways, he always tickles me, steals my stuff (especially my phone or camera), tries to annoy me in a joking way, and stuff like that. I know that sounds like he likes me, but he gives a few other girls nicknames too (and I know he doesn't like them) and he doesn't text me very often. He's really goofy and it's kind of hard to tell if he's just being himself or flirting!! Any ideas on how to get him to be a little more serious around me without weirding him out or making things awkward??
Thanks!


 

 Hey chica! Boys are silly! At that age especially, it's like you can never read them and it can be frustrating. They tend to act that way when they are around their friends--boys tend to show off. If you want to see his more serious side, try catching him when he's alone. Does he act this way at church? Talk to him one and one. He may be a bit more calm and then you can see if you feel like he likes you.
