We got issues.... Lol

So I have a decent amount of snakes and I wanted to pick it up a notch by investing in a coral glow(I even have the cash money) but mom says no. She doesn't realize the investment aspect. I tried to tell her even with the price drop and the girls I'm pairing him to there would be no way I couldn't make my money back in te first 2 years.if not the first. I showed her "the ball game" video but she won't let me do it. Convincing suggestions?

get a banana. she didn't say no to that.. lol :D

I just might have to :banana:

I know some of you guys have convinced your wives to buy expensive snakes(; How'd y'all do it

dude, just buy it and say it was like 400 dollars. wait two years and show off your bank account to your mom! sometimes you gotta do what's right for you.

If you have the cash to buy a coral glow then you should be old enough to not have your mom telling you what to do. Or am i missing something here...?

I'm confused. If you already have many bp's, and the cash is yours...why do you need to convince your mom? Or are you under 18 and need her permission? If you're under 18, I would just say wait and buy one when you're 18. Convincing someone who has no idea about morphs and snakes etc to allow you to drop 10-12k on a snake isn't an easy task. She is thinking you are making a fools mistake spending that kind of money on any animal I'm sure. If you want to jump into the ball game, wait a couple years and jump then. So you don't HAVE to have her permission, and then you can show her your success :) But, good luck with convincing anyways! :gj:

Edit: Oh, and convincing a SO is not on the same page as convincing a parent ;) SO's should have equal say in big financial purchases, parent / child doesn't work that way. Sure, parents should take into consideration the kid's power-point presentation on how awesome their idea is..but when it gets down to brass tax it is the parents decision completely. :D

I think he's like 14..

I wouldn't let my child drop that much cash on a snake. :/ he should save that money to move out/further his education IMO.

its my money, but she has a hard time just letting me drop it whick is understandale, she understands morphs, i bought a champagne 2 years ago and it paid for itself twice over. i am under 18 so technically she can tell me no @_@

im not 14, my brother shares the account with me so maybe your referring to that??

Ah. Well in that case I agree 100% with bobbafett.
I would not let my kid under 18 drop that kind of money on anything except college or nest egg for a place to live. So I'll stick to my wait until you're 18 and financially stable before you make that kind of decision.
