What phone to get?

The Nexus 5 is still a good phone and available on the play store for $349 :good:

Otherwise look for a Moto X.

 

That.

 

Agreed, I'd probably tone it back to a 2nd gen Moto G or something in your case.

 

Lol what. If he's got the money for a phone what's to stop him from buying one that's nice and what he wants? Just because he's young doesn't mean it should be a "dumby" phone or cheap.

 

Most people are retarded with budgeting, especially with no income.

He's free to do whatever he wants, it's just an alternative mindset to reconsider blowing all the cash you have all the time. It felt like a stretch for me to drop $300 on my 2nd gen Moto X and we're a six figure household..

 

I totally see where you're coming from, don't get me wrong. However at least for me at the age of 14 I didn't really have expenses and would just get money as gifts or for odd jobs (mowed a lot). Also he said he had budget of 300 bucks, that doesn't mean that's all his cash in the world.

But generally yeah, people are stupid with money. Myself included a lot of the time. I felt richer when I was a younger teen making 30-45 a week mowing vs now when I make 100 a week with stuff to pay for regularly.

 

You really are a cynical asshole huh?

 

Ah yeah. No worries at all

I felt a lot more 'well-funded' at 40k with not too many bills than I am at 85k trying to juggle a bunch of crap too lol.

 

He asked for an opinion on what phone to purchase given his budget. Suggesting something is what he wanted, not saying "don't spend your money, you're too young"." What a great and constructive opinion. Guess you should go stake out the desktop section and tell all the younger people going through there they shouldn't spend money because they probably have an old computer laying around the house since they "already have one" as you say.

I generally get along with people pretty well on here but you really need to think about what you're saying because most of the time you just spout bull.

 

I remember saving up 400 bucks for a big part of my drum set and that was the largest amount of cash I'd ever seen, let alone possessed. I was 13 actually.


Also pretty safe to say Ninja's a bit more mature than most 13 year olds given his post history...

Either way, this whole thread just took a slight shortcut through the mountains then ended up barreling over a cliff and into a deep ravine of hate. Moving forward.

 

I don't see how buying a 350$ is so bad for you Ben. We've all bought expansive gadgets in our youth, like consoles for example. And you're trying to pass off your hobby of photography as a business plan yet you don't live off that, so until then it is considered just a hobby, a gadget, and an expansive one. No need to be condescending, even to our younger members.
