Im asking this to the crony with no comment (lazy donkey 
)
Tips upon justifying something costly to relatives which magnitude all in food as well as utilitarian items.
Next to outrageous amounts of utilitarian things as well as piles of food … lets contend the mechanism doesnt demeanour great in the eyes of someone who have lived really feeble in their childhood.
Tips?
Maybe i should have phrased the bit improved
My crony isnt aged sufficient to work.
The complaint is, his relatives have been so perfectionist which he cant use his assets the approach he prefers. They need justification.

Get a job and buy it yourself. If you are old enough to type you are at least old enough to rake leaves, shovel snow, and do other yard work.
You can only do that when you’re using your own hard earned cash and not theirs!
Someone old enough to want and use a computer is old enough to work. Even babysitting, gardening for the next door neighbours etc.
Savings are called savings because they are just that – they are not something to be spent on something on a whim. The problem is, as a kid you cannot just ask sensible parents for justification in spending your savings on something which they do not think are appropriate
What you need is a compromise. Tell your friend to talk to his parents. Sit them down and tell them that he wants to buy a computer, and it will cost $1000. And then he needs to tell his parents HOW he is planning to pay for the computer, whilst still maintaining his savings.
Parents need to understand that YOU undersand just how important savings are. They need to know you do NOT want to blow it all at once. Perhaps you could negotiate, offer to work and save up for half of the cost yourself. And then IF you can show them how resposible you are in saving this up, then perhaps they might consider allowing you to take the other half of the cost out of your savings
Just remember, you cant expect anything for free. Anyone is old enough to work. My 8 year old neighbour gets “paid” by his parents to do EXTRA choores (on top of normal chores) such as weeding the gardens on the weekends. You dont have to work at Macdonalds in order to get paid. He could even offer to babysit, walk the neighbours dogs, do their gardens etc.
Thats all i can suggest, offer a comprimise and see where that goes. I can tell you now, asking you parents to blow your savings will not work. It shows you have no concept of the bigger picture. Show them you are resposinisble and are willing to work for it by working for half of the cost, and saving it up youself, on top of your normal savings.
People think they want something or need something only when it is their own money. I know this from experience. When I wanted something, my parents would say that if I wanted it, I could buy it, but not with my savings.
Your friend can ask to do a few chores around the house for extra money, or ask neighbors if they want him to do handyman chores for them. If he saves up his cash, he can tell his parents how he worked hard to save up for this item, and that he won’t have to use the savings they have for him for it. By doing this, his parents will see that he is responsible enough to make the money he needs for this item, and that it was a big enough goal for him not to spoil his money on small things along the way.
