Hi everyone
Im 16 I work a part time job as a math tutor, i get paid 13.15/hr which will be 13.40/hr as of october, i work about 45 hours/month usually
I also babysit during the school year but probably either won’t be at all or just doing 1 day a week (i get paid $75-100 per week depending on hours, 1 day is probably just $35)
So my laptop is 12 years old and i use it for work currently as we are closed, so we offer online classes for our students. in september we will offer one irl class per week and 2 online per week so i definitely need something to continue working on.
The reason i need a new laptop is because since it’s so old it can’t run without being plugged in and it crashes a lot when i’m working with students. also it has started making weird noises and just not being reliable and i think it will die soon.
I need something that can run minecraft cause it’s the only game i really play, can video conference for work + school and can be used for schoolwork.
Also, due to some circumstances my bike has become the family bike and i need to share with my little brother. this is ok for now but i think i will need a new one come september for this reason:
- my brother is in elementary school and will be going to school everyday
- i need a way to get to work on the days we offer irl classes
- my brother will have the bike because he needs to get to school
I hve about 7k saved but I was saving to move out/buy a gaming pc. I wanted to put 2k aside for my pc but i think getting a new bike and new laptop will cost me that.
So i really don’t know what to do because either i cheap out on bike/laptop/both and have to buy a new one within a year or so or i spend a good amount and don’t have enough saved for a gaming pc or to move out after 2 years.
I would really appreciate any advice :)
