[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d make him pay for a portion of it. At least $1,000 or give him a much lower budget.

At 17 he needs to have some skin in the game for big purchase.

Life doesn’t hand you everything you want. You earn it or compromise based on how much effort you put into it. Time for him to realize that. [/quote]

Funny how people say this about a $4K guitar but then think nothing of plunking down much more for a Jeep, or even worse, paying for a private college just because Snowflake doesn't want the in-state public.

At least this kid has shown dedication to his craft.

Bad comparison.   Most of the time it’s also the parents wanting private or kids having cars so they don’t have to drive them. [/quote]

Exactly my point. When it's solely something for their child, even though it's cheaper, all of a sudden they don't want to acknowledge and reward the effort their kid has put into whatever it is. [/quote]
