[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally know someone who has an 18-year-old daughter who is now on her 3rd iPhone 6 because she sat on the first two and broke them. No, they did not have them insured. No, they are not rich (far from it). But they swear they all need their iPhone 6's. Mind blowingly dumb.[/quote] Why are the parents paying for her replacements? Our kid bought his own laptop. He crashed the hard drive. He had to wait about four months until lawn mowing season rolled around so he could earn the money to replace his crashed hard drive. We paid for the operating system in exchange for babysitting and extra, beyond the norm chores. He has an iphone o his plan. He knows the cost. He knows that if he loses or breaks it, he will not get a new one until he can afford to replace it. Why would a parent keep buying her expensive things she won't take care of?[/quote]
