Why I decided to stop buying video games
This year I started earning money from various jobs .I work hard for the money I earn and I save my money I think of a number of things I could spend it on.Last week my brother and I looked in to buying a brand new video game system. We gathered up are PlayStation 2 +accessories and are x-box +accessories all that + 19 games and we took them to the store to trade them in.
when we arrived at the store we were given 103$ CREDIT. with are credit and money we had with us we could not afford a used system.Disappointed we went home to price a new system
We began to talk about are little adventure with are dad it turns out that my brother and I had spent 650$ on the systems we had just turned in using the original purchase price and comparing it with credit we received,we calculated an 84% depreciation in value. This means we only kept 16 cents from every dollar we spent on video games.
This is a Major rip of.Aside from the fact we were going to chase are lose by buying a brand new system for approximately five hundred and fifty dollars. We recognized the lost time associated with playing the games.That is a one hundred % deprecation in value there for we will right of are financial loss and find better things to do with are money and time.
???have you thought about what your doing with your time and where your moneys going???

Robert - this is quite the fascinating cost analysis. I am sure that if more kids were spending their own money on these items, they would think a lot more about the loss of time and money. You have made some excellent points, but we still need to work on your edit for spelling and punctuation. Also, we need to reword your question. I can help you with this at school.
