Well, just get used to not being spoiled and accept how lucky you are. Not everyone has the things you apparently do. And hey, in this economy, every $5 counts. Complaining will get you nothing. If you can’t have fun, at least you are with your family. Stop complaining, and just realize how lucky you are now, because when you get older, it’s gonna get worse. Almost everything I do now is done by my own means. My parents help sometimes, but I rely on myself a lot more than I used to.
Buck up. Life throws you curves here and there and dealing with them is really what it’s all about.
Not having a new throw each month is not going to make or break you or your yoyoing. Learn to appreciate what you’ve got.
Going to a private school and not having the latest and greatest - deal with it. Both of my kids went to an expensive private school on the tuition work program there. They got by, and had lots of friends w/o having all of the showy stuff. BTW, I lost my job in the middle of my daughter’s senior year. We all pulled together and she was able to stay there to graduate. It’s all what you make it.
Whenever I feel like this, I just think of Paris Hilton and go “thank god I’m not like that!”
You just need to take a step back, acknowledge the situation you and your family is in, and make the best with what you do have.
I haven’t had a new yoyo in a couple of years, but that doesn’t make me feel inferior or stop me having fun - impress people with your skill, not by material things.
why do you need to buy a new yoyo. that is what the BST is for. i believe the last new yoyo i bought online was a starlight with a $25 gift card, so i never spent money. this was before december (i don’t count xmas yo-yos as bought, they are gifts). do what i do: get good on what you have and win at yoyo contests. jk, just check out the BST if you want a new yoyo and just remember it is the thrower not the yoyo.
