The Story of my iPhone 4 Pre-Order

And this is exactly why most of America is in debt...smdh.

Not only are you putting yourself in a bad predicament, but you're putting your parents in a bad spot.

What if you cannot come up with the money next month when the CC bill is due? Your parents have already said they don't have the money to pay for it. Now your parents pay the minimum due and you start paying interest.

You may be an Apple fan boy, but you sound like an irresponsible/selfish kid to me.

Can't even imagine you with a credit card, you'll be in debt in no time.
 
Exactly as previously stated, get a job. DO NOT try and buy an expensive phone on "credit" to pay back later. It's a downward spiral, you'll be in debt your whole life. It is just a bad idea. Get a job, earn the money, then buy the phone with your own debit or credit card with your own money. I got my first real job at 15, now I'm 17 and making quite alot each week, this iPhone launch hasn't even phased my parents, they know I make alot of money, and spend wisely, and when I preordered with my card they didn't have one worry about it. So I would NOT try and get the Rents to loan the money or anything crazy. Just get a JOB and wait!
 
Question

Who's been paying for apps/how have they been paid for?

Also - who pays the monthly bill?

Do you work ALL year to pay the bill - or do your parents pay the bill?

I would think - that if you were 100 percent responsible for your bill, a little "leeway" in terms of making these offers to your parents might be met with less criticism.

So - are you paying your monthly bill?

Entrepreneurial spirit? Has our country gotten so bad that actually WORKING to buy something is considered being an entrepreneur? That's ridiculous, he's just being a normal human being. You work to make money, and spend money on things you want. It's called Capitalism.

An entrepreneur is a capitalist. Check your thesaurus.
