Okay, I'm 14. Should I save and get a new phone, or do what alot of people say and save for a car??? HELP!

Question

And by the way, My dad and I were driving down the road and i spotted a used car for $300. Of course it's crappy but I can fix it. But my new phone (Just so you know it's the iPhone) Is oober cool! And it could help me in high school. So what you think, Save for car, Save for iPhone, Or work hard, get phone then car. I'm listening!

Answer 1

okay, it depends.  What phone do you have now?  If it doesn't suck, then save for a car, that's what I'm doing.  If you really can't wait for a new phone, look for a cheap, but still good quality one.  They are out there.

Answer 2

wow same thing im doing but im going to invest in my bro, but go for the car. trust me when u got a job and a girl u wont a good car not a crapy one.

Answer 3

14 huh? Car or phone? hmmm... just a slight price difference... and with gas prices..... Maybe you should save up for that hot new Beanie Baby instead... or maybe you could do us all a favor and do what a lot of people say and just stay off the road.

(cars that cost $300 dollars usually don't last more than a week before they cost another $300)

Answer 4

Yep save for collage or for uni... Although i prefer a house over a car anyday.. and a phone over a car lol

Answer 5

It may sound stupid, but I think phone! If you are 15 (time to get a license?) then you will be able tog et a job and save faster for a car.. but if you have a good phone already a car would be good!

Answer 6

I don't know! maybe get a cheap phone and lease a used car. There are some phones that are buy one get one free! You could get one of those!☺

Answer 7

save for a house ? Save for your children's education ? Save for retirement ?  They are all worthwhile.  How long are you willing to save ?

Answer 8

u might be able to do both if you work hard

Answer 9

car it lasts longer and you will not regret being able to get a better car than if you didn't save.

Answer 10

if ur 14 u probly wouldnt be able to drive till ur 16? soo id say get a cell phone now.. there not to expensive and then just start saving for a car.. getting a job as early as u can

Answer 11

save for college. its more important.

Answer 12

Remember your parents or guardians will most likely help you with some of this stuff like collage and a car. So for the best advice you should make out a plan with whoever you live with on what yo can do so that way you get the best out of it in the long run. :)

Answer 13

Thats what my mom ALWAYS says...but im like, whats a few hundred bucks going to do in your car savings.? its not a big fraction of what a car will cost like a year from now! Get the new phone!! When you get your permit next year, gas might cause as much as the phone! OORRR...you should save up! my mom also says that phones are for emergencies only, so if you just want a phone for saftey purposes, save the money up in the bank!!(if you put it in a piggy bank, the money may slowly dissapear as you take a little amount evey day to buy new stuff)
