Should I take this bet?

[PinkPunk]

So my parents are offering me 100$ to not use my electronics for 2 weeks (I do get to keep my ipod though). Part of me doesn't want to because I'm online so often but I really want the money so I can go makeup shopping. What do you guys think I should do?

 

If I manage to use anything other than my ipod and my school laptop (i have 2, one for school and one for personal use) then I don't get the money and they get to keep them for 2 weeks.

 

but i love the internet so much

DECLINE lol what kind of parents offer you $100, that's nothing ask for more than talk 

[˹AS˼]

How will they even know if you use them? Are they taking them away?

You could probably get away with using your school computer as your main computer anyways. Congrats on the $100

I really need to know how this bet came about. Did your parents just say "Sheesh PinkPunk you're always on -insert electronic device"! How about this? We will give you $100 if you stop using your electronics for two weeks!"

Well basically I was in the car with my Dad and using the Bluetooth on his phone to listen to Drake through the car speakers and I had my phone in my lap and my ipod in my hand. Once we got home he told my mom about it and we bickered about it and then they originally offered 35$ for a week and then they told me if I do it for 2 weeks they'll give me 100$.

I would do it tbh. I can handle 2 weeks without internet.

Do it if you want the moolah! If you can't be damned then don't lol.

oh, do u really need the makeup? and before u decide to take the bet think of what u will be doing in your spare time since u cant use electronic device.

Well I don't need the makeup since I have a lot already but I like to stock up. I agree about thinking what I should do in my spare time though before I agree.

lol

you can live without the internet rest assured

the fact that they gave you an ipod is lenient af

 

 

take up new hobbies like knitting or biking - something productive.

trying new things is fun imo; you'll see

[MyCookiessNicerThanYours]

ok so i just miss and important point, u said that u be able to keep your ipod. does it mean u get to use your ipod but just without internet access?

i can't bike but i do agree i need some hobbies! i could probably work out longer, take walks, read, clean, etc. I guess there are a few things to do w/o the internet.

Yup! I can't use the internet unless I'm doing school work!

Well why dont u just download video before the bet start. download some youtube video or variety show or tv series. but before u accept it see whether u have enough space on your ipod
