How could I persuade my parents to buy me a Cricut Expression?

by admin on August 29, 2010

I am a 14-year-old girl that really wants a cricut Expression. They’re "fun, easy, and fast." One of my friends has one and she really, really likes hers, and I’m always trying to find ways to be more creative. They cost a bunch. Which is about 400 dollars including S&H, and 400 dollars isn’t anything to play with. Please help.

Tell you parents you are committed to earning at least 75% of the cost (babysit, do odd jobs, shovel snow for neighbors, mow people’s lawns – be creative) yourself. Show them you’re serious by actually doing the work to EARN that money. Once you’ve earned at least $300, make a polite, humble request to your parents to finance the rest as an "advance" on your next birthday or Christmas present.

In the meantime, ask your friend if you can borrow hers. Make SURE this product is worth it to you to spend the time it’s going to take to earn it.

Good luck!
