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

What are you, 30?

I'd have bought the game .. when you're older you'll find saving 70 bucks will be meaningless.

you didnt have to burst his bubble like that, you know

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. 

 

Rubbish, by all means you should save when you have an actual job, I'm saying (clearly) saving now, 70 bucks means nothing, and will have absoloutely no impact on his life later on, heck even if he save for all his child hood, he'd come out with like 5k MAX. That again ... would be pretty much nothing in the grand scheme of things.
