Just to clarify, I wasn’t saying that a yoyo is is a frivolous waste of $135 and that it’s no more than a hobby. Quite the opposite. Over the past few months yoyoing has become basically the essence of my life, and if I had $135 you can be sure I’d be spending it on a new throw.

I agree that it’s at least nice to have that option, as an adult with a job. Not trying to diminish how it feels to be at the mercy of a parent’s allowance.

I don’t get allowance my mom tells me I’m 14 so I need to find a way to make my own money -_-

Well…back in my day the work laws were that you had to be 15 and a half with a work permit from your school. If you can do some research and find out that you’re not the legal age to work in your state, then that may convince her to give you allowance. Otherwise, sell rocks

Thanks for the suggestion but in Iowa it’s 14 but I could only work very limited hours and everywhere I’ve checked will only hire if your 16

Can the title of this thread be corrected?

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to just have $135 dollars lying around to throw at a new yoyo.

It feels pretty good. However, spending 600 dollars a month on rent and almost 100 dollars a week on food for my fiancee as well as myself counterbalances the euphoria of buying toys. Be happy that you have fewer responsibilities, believe me.

Age 14-16 is a bit rougher, but once you get that first “reasonable” part time job… man…

I’ve never had as much disposable income as when I was a teenager working but living at home. As a teenager you don’t know that, though.

Having your own money to drop on yoyos isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! I spend my own money on throws and I’m very happy with the money I’ve spent, but it’s an ADDICTION!! I sometimes wish I had someone holding on to my money so that I wouldn’t turn around and buy a new CLYW every week, but it’s all totally up to me and because of that I have very little expendable cash that doesn’t go towards yoyos…
