i don't have a job because i have no time because of school and like i said, i'm pretty impatient so i would go insane waiting for christmas
You know, you, unwittingly, have helped identify the problem with most teenageers and people in America in general. They don't want to wait. They want immediate gratification now without the pain. This is why so many people go in to deep debt with credit cards and other loans to get what they want now rather than wait until they have the cash to do it.
If I was your Father, I would tell you kindly to wait until either Christmas (if I was inclined to spend $400) or get a part-time job and MAKE a way to get the money. Do you realize how much it really costs to get the iPod you want?
Say you wanted the 30G for $299.00 You get a job for $8.00 p/hour, work 20 hours a week and gross $160.00 a week and bring home $120 after taxes. In 3 weeks you get the iPod you want and best of all the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.
The best satisfaction in life comes from knowing that you worked to achieve what you got rather than relying on someone else to do it for you.
So good luck! Go find a job and see what else you can buy with all the money you will earn.
