I saved up enough money for God of War III but I'm not going to buy it.

you still bursted his bubble. He was saving that money ever since Christmas and you just came and said ''your 70 bucks are meaningles'' Not everyone gets paid 2500 dollars a month, you know.

saving money now serves little purpose, when he gets older, saving $70 WILL be meaningless. He's young (obviously) so he should be spending his money on himself and not worrying about saving that money which took him months to save, cos he'll earn that in a day when he gets a job.

Stop blabbing on.

That is the most untrue statement you could tell someone.  The earlier you begin saving money the better.  Compounding interest works to you advantage the longer you have it invested.  Once your in a position you should be investing 15% of your income for future use/retirement.  I'd much rather be 55 and comfortable then 70 and having to work at Mcdonalds because I pissed away my money. 

But you're missing out on GOW 3, I'm playing it right now and it is pretty awesome. 

exactly, I saved 10% of everything I made from as soon as I could count til I was married and had over $20k in the bank. Sure, $1-2 week saved doesn't add up to much now, but a good habbit can't be started early enough.
