My mom is making me pay for all of my dance classes this year. Help, do you think I can afford it?

Question

I have a job and have been giving my mom 100% of my paycheck for the past two months. So far I have raised $1750. I need about $2616. It's getting really stressful because I have no money to have fun and can't do anything with my friends without digging into my savings. Taking these classes are very important to me and I don't want to give any of them up. Here are the costs.

All Star Cheerleading: $1135

Tap class: $871

Hip hop: $610

Total: $2616

It will take me a long time to raise the rest of the money because during the school year I will only be able to work two evening shifts per week. Should I give up my freedoms and keep raising money then love all the stuff I get to do, or should I drop hip hop and risk being completely miserable about it?

Answer 1

you can do it! good job u saved up that much money in two months!! could for u!! =]

Answer 2

We can't really answer this for you as it is a personal decision.  Maybe see if your mom will help you out - ie: a loan - as long as you agree to pay it off.  Offer to pay her interest...

Good luck!

Answer 3

stick with it. if dancing is what you love to do then you wont mind giving up a few freedoms because you know its for a good cause.

and you never know, if your mom sees how hard you are working to get this money and you are short a few, she will prolly end up helping.

dont give up!
