Question

My dad gave me 8 bucks as a birthday gift and i am so happy. I want to buy something meaningful?

Answer 1

well 8bucks cant really get anything great but it all depends on the thought. maybe you could getsome pieces of PAPER or even some socks, milk, bread or maybe even shampoo!

Answer 2

Oh Happy Birthday.

And I agree with those people about having a saving account. You really need to know the importance of money in a young age so you don't have to have a hard life in the future.

All the best to you.

Answer 3

2 bottles of shampoo? :))))  

Answer 4

Buy a picture frame or something, and stick a picture of your dad in it...

Answer 5

Put it in a savings account, it will make your parents give you more money later on, trust me. You'd probably only get a little more, like $13 for christmas, but you can get like $25 easy if you put it in savings and show that you're willing to save. I wish i would have done that, now i have to walk to college.  

Answer 6

I agree with Brittany's idea of a savings account! I would've never thought of that when I was younger.  

However, make sure he realizes that you are saving it because you have everything you need right now, and not because you're saving for something more expensive that you really wanted.

Also, don't feel like once you put it into savings it is not accessible. If you happen upon something meaningful later go ahead get it. You will still have your account and you can add to it little by little (it will add up quickly).

Show your dad how happy you are and make him a special thank you card!
