My daughter wants a Gucci bag worth more than 5,000 dollars
And i only make 29,000 dollars a year . And this bag is alot of money. How can i take to her about this .
Recently for Christmas she wanted Chanel sunglasses and a Chanel handbag and DKNY perfume, all in total of 15,000 USD
She's 16
The best answer I read was make her get a job and spend her own money on it....she's 16.....sounds like you've been letting it go far too long, she didnt spoil herself, someone else did.... if she got the stuff you mentioned for christmas she does not need another bag....or look on ebay if all else fails or get her a fake and dont tell her other wise

Just tell her no. You can get cuter bags for a lot less. If she throws a fit she’ll get over it.

Explain how money doesn’t grow on trees and tell her about the economic problem these days and how people ARE SO DAMN POOR they don’t even have jobs.

Tell her to get a job and spend her own $5,000, not yours.

That is so easy…. tell her to get a job…. she can buy whatever she can afford.
References :
She needs to get a job and work for that stuff if she really wants it. It isn’t fair to put that kind of a burden on her family.
References :
wow. you need to teach your daughter that money dosen’t grow on trees.
You need to tell her that you love her, but $5,000 is a lot of money. If she wants it so badly, she can buy it herself.

I would just say NO…you want it get a job and buy it yourself…it’s amazing how quickly they tend not to put the money out for such frivolous things when it comes from their own pocket…

Make her get a job. Not everything is about labels.

Just say no, that is what my parents have done my whole life so I am used to it.
It will be out of style by next season anyway, she will get over it.

for real.
Gah.
Who would even ask for that!!!
Take it all away and make her live like everyone else.

i wouldnt give it to her
teack her not to be so materialistic
just cause its more expensive it doesn’t mean its neccessarily better quality
hope i helped
(by the way it also depends on her age, and if she has a job. if she does get her to pay for most of it. If she doesn’t tell her to go find a job =])

what thats madness. just tell her blankly..NO
you cant afford it and of she’s spoilt or not, thats a crazy amount of money you would spend on your daughter
best of luck

she needs a SLAP! and u need one too for giving her chanel stuff and perfume… seriously…jeez…
References :
make her work at mcdonalds and pay for the stuff herself, then she will know that it is not ok to want such things
References :
I predict your daughter will soon be a golddigger.
References :
tell her and pretend you’re going broke. tell her that the economies bad and you are running out of money to spoil her any further. and if she doesnt have heart to accept that, then what kind of daughter is that. good luck (: how old is she? tell her if she wants em go get herself a job. if shes 16 or so.
References :
well the economy is not the best ATM so…. yea and she wants something like that much of your pay (5000), just say no
References :
how old is she?
dont ever buy her that bag
tell her to get a job and if she wants it tell her to earn it
References :
well maybe just tell her that if she can get half the money youll match her. so she can get $2.5,000 and then the bag would only be costing you $2.5,000. this way she will learn the value of money and how much 5,000 dollars REALLY is.
References :
open her eyes by bringing her to a homeless shelter or something similar
show her why she should be grateful for the small things in life.
References :
i know you love your daughter and would do anything for her but you dont have the kind of money to do this. tell her you will pay for a certain amount and she can get a job for the rest. Tell her you love her but its not in your budget.
References :
no way you need to keep your money but your daughter could save up her own money.tell her you don’t have the money and if she doesn’t understand show her the bills or the debt show her what you spend your money on reality depending on age she should get a job or save up money and it might just be a phase she will probably grow out of
References :
wow okay.
you should stop being a softie on her.
so by doing that don’t let her get everything she wants.
so like tell her you have to go and buy a knockoff or something there pretty much the same except a lot cheaper.
References :
explain to her why she can’t have it, she can’t always have such expensive things like that, get her something more stylish yet cheaper, take her to stores like marshalls, tj maxx they’re much cheaper and they have things that are fashionable and some brand names she might like

So, I want a car, you gonna do that for me? What if she wants a 180,000 car, are you gonna do that for her? What if she whines a lot and says "pretty please?" Yeah, she’s spoiled because she gets what she wants so of course she’s gonna keep ‘upping the ante’ b/c she knows you’ll give it to her.
You could buy a used car for that!!! Does she think you’re made of money? Apparently; since you’re spending so much. Ya need to show her how much you make and tell her to go find a job if she wants that kind of stuff.
That’s what my mom always said, "If you want your own things you have to buy them yourself." It takes tough love and a locked up check-book. Tell her "too bad" and go get a job like the rest of us (or marry rich but what are the odds of that?)
Take care

Just say no to her. Tell her that if she wants all of this expensive designer stuff she needs to use her own money for it. That will teach her the value of money better. The problem is she might not realize how much money 5,000 dollars is so you need to teach her to raise her own money for things, then she will realize that things like Gucci bags are frivolous. You should also explain to her that you do not make the kind of living that could support her buying all of this extremely expensive stuff.
References :
yea she maybe worth more than 5,000 but can you afford buying her a bag that she might not even want anymore in a month. Go to a gucci outlet they sell them for half the price if she wants one that bad! You can even go to ebay or something!
References :
that is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
References :
Learn how to say, "NO!" Let her get a job and earn her own money.
References :
tell her NO WAY!
plus it is a purse, just because it is gucci or coach or chanel or dolce and gabbana doesnt mean she will carry it any longer than she would a purse from american eagle, girls switch up purses after they think they have been carrying the same one for too long. it is a total waste of money when she won’t treat it any differently than her other purses.
tell her to stop being materialistic and maybe send her to a knitting class so she can start making her own bags.

Omg чour daughters out of control,
Dude sit her down,
And give her a speech on the less fortunate,
It isnt fair on чou and other people,
чou earn the moneч,
And spend it all on one item,
I dont think so,
Teach her abit,
No-one should be so spoilt,
Please its for her own good,
If she learns to live like this,
How will she be when she’s all grown up?
Good luck and i hope i helped

volunteer her time at the Salvation Army… Send her to a third world country. Make her take out the garbage. She sounds like a brat. There is such a thing as parental abuse. I think you need to take control and re-claim your presence in the family.

tell her you could take her to disney for the price you’d be paying for that bag. at least you’ll have memories from that …

i know how she feels. i just spent hundreds of dollars shopping today. do you have a hard time saying no? my parents NEVER say no. & don’t feel bad. i live in asia, and everything is double the price here. i can buy a louis vuitton bag for $1,200 in the states, but, it’ll almost be $3,000 here. it sucks that my mom is going to put me on a LIMIT when i go to college. i’ll surely die.
so, just say no. if your only making 29,000 a year, then, tell her that if you buy her this bag, then, you won’t buy her ANYTHING until she goes off to college. you won’t give her an allowance. she has to do chores. she won’t be getting anything for the next million christmas’s, etc. make her feel scared, thats the best bet

Simply say NO . Or tell her to earn the money working and buy it herself .

im 12 years old and my parents make ME buy anything i want, they both make 200,000 a year. any clothes shoes acc. i have 2buy for myself. if she isn’t willing to buy it will her own money then why should u? and if she uses her own money and works fo rit then she’ll have alot more self respect for it. plus she’s old enough 2 get a job. im not and i still have to make my way.
References :
it will be hard but tell her no. tell her she should get a job and work for what she wants. she will get a reality check and will see that it is not easy to make 5,000 dollars working as a cashier and once she gets the money she will realize that she was lucky she got everything she wanted but it is not like that in the real world. She will also realize that the bag is a want not a need and she will not be so spoiled if you make her work for the stuff she needs.

Tell her no and tell her to go and get a job and she can get all of that her self . Get her something that don’t make you go bankrupt
References :
WOW,
she’s really spoiled.
tell her no and take all her other valuables away until she learns that money doesn’t grow on trees.
oh and MAKE HER GET A JOB.
