This Father Thinks an $800 TV is Required To Have a Good Childhood

[KitchenKnife]

The kids are 2 and 3, they don't know the difference between a $200 tv and a $800 tv

[sfowler]

$75/month for gymnastics is crazy cheap, wow.

“You started at 0 in your mid 20s. You’re in your mid 30s. You’ve allowed yourself to stay at zero.”

That shit cuts deep

[dinodan]

A TV being a need for a good childhood lol. No that is not for the kid, just admit it's for you.

[Tonyx]

Ummm excuse me, I have a 250 tv and it’s very nice

[MondayGloomy-jkpt]

Dude's really good at calling people out. I needed this.
"Allowing yourself to stay at zero."
That hurts more than i thought it was.

[TryHardSyke]

800$ for a TV is crazy expensive, there’s 4k 55 inch TV for 400 everywhere and even that is pricey. No 2/3 year old will care about a used TV as long as Paw patrol can be put on the screen 😂

“We’re not inheriting anything”

Good grief. You aren’t OWED anything from your family.

[KCQII]

You can get perfectly fine HD TVs at a thrift store nowadays with an equally cheap fire stick/roku to make it a smart tv but people have been so misled by marketing and consumerism

We bought a 50" a year or two ago, i think we paid $150.

... A television isn't a requirement for a happy childhood ... If anything less tv will do them more good.
And even then kids don't care about having a nice big tv, they'd be just as happy with a cheaper one.

[xEllieRose]

Because the kids care about a $800 TV 🙄 I think paying for the gymnastics is worth it, that sounds crazy affordable for a sport/activity.

I wasn't allowed to have a TV in my room when I was growing up! And, I didn't let my kid have one either. What is wrong with these folks?

[Matchwood_]

All 3 of my tv’s are hand-me downs. Spent a total of $50

[The.watcher]

Wait, we were all supposed to inherit money when we became adults? The best scenario I can hope for is a bill for the funeral.

[hornetguy]

“We aren’t inheriting anything”

even when people do inherit, that inheritance usually doesn’t drop until you’re in your 40’s or 50’s. You don’t plan the family off of inheritance.

I bought what I believed to be a nice TV for myself, and it was on sale for $225. A kid doesn’t need something fancy. I grew up with a tiny box TV.

[MichaelDruck]

Walmart and Pawn Shops have many TVs for under $250

[esmeraldaparker]

😂 this girl thinking not inheriting anything yet (well at all i guess) is a bad thing. Like idk how actually does inherit stupid AND thats usually when someone passes away like wtf? Was that a hope for her

[tysonfreeman]

I love that "You allowed yourself to stay at zero" I started at zero in my early 20's I'm debt free and in my mid 40's now. with 6 kids.
