Question

How can I convince my mom and dad to give me $500 for some travel money?

I am going to Europe and I am wanting my mom and dad to give me $500 to travel with, only thing is is that I don't want to let him know I'm going to Europe. So can anyone think of an idea that I can get the money. I'm going to call from there and surprise them that I am able to do what I can do. I do have other money saved.

Answer 1

Try taking all of the stuff your parents have spoiled you with and selling it in a rummage sale to make the money.  Then take the money and buy something for THEM.  That would probably surprise them more and not get them boiling mad at you for doing something so insane like...leaving the country!  You could also ask them if they have any stuff they want to get rid of and you could sell it too.  You would be surprised on how much you can make!  Buy them a hot tub, they deserve to have one after raising you!

Answer 2

If you’re a minor (and assuming they have custody), you can’t go without them knowing it/giving permission.  And if you’re an adult, why are you asking your parents for vacation money?  If adults don't have money for a vacation, they put it off until they do have the money.

Answer 3

You had been spoil without words and you have enough guts to ask money to your parents ; you are looking for serious trouble  

Answer 4

first off bad idea,,,cuz they could call the cops on u and track u down,,,trust me and my friend did that once,,,we went to texas all the way from canada ,,,and my parents got hold of the authorites there and we were escorted backk,,,but it was fun,,,so this is what u do if u need money,,,,borrow there credit card ,,,,tell em ur gonna buy something like car stickers or decals for there car or ur car as a gift,,,and give em like 10$ and say that the stickers only cost 10$ so ur covered and u'll get there credit card ,,,now transfer the money to ur debit account through paypal and go to the bank and get the money out of ur account ,,,,,,,,,if non of this works ,,,,,tell ur parents ur trying to invest money in government bonds for a little project etc. or make up a story ,,,or get a friend dressed in a cop costume arrest u and fine ur parents 500$ cash for littering of something stupid good luck
