I currently only have around $110 and my birthday is coming up in October.
My ASP Saber that I've been making a big deal about is what I have planned for my birthday present. Both of my parents, my grandmother and possibly me, will chime in to pay for the $380 - $420 saber (depending on if theres a sale or not). Comic con is coming up in the end of May and I'm afraid I'll spend too much money or spend most of my money on a basic black Jedi costume for my Sith cosplay for 2018 Comic con.
Should I save up and buy the ASP saber entirely myself or should I keep my original plan?
If you suggest the first option, what are some easy ways I can get money? (I'm too young to get a job, at least I think so in my state of the U.S.)

For starters, this link may help you a bit on a job hunt, at least on the legal points. My high school jobs were Boy Scout camp in the summers, then I started at a restaurant when I was 16.

I would try and save as much you can, if you can. It's always more satisfying to buy something with your own money. Just ask the $700 Frostmourne replica I bought in 2010 with busboy tips. And if you can't save the whole amount, at least you know your family is going to be helping you. That's what I still do when upgrading my gaming PC... being an only child / grandchild means you still get flak at 26 when buying everything with your own money and not putting stuff "on your Birthday list". :silly:
