How to finally persuade parents?
I'm currently trying to convince my parents to let me fly to Korea this summer. I've even offered to pay for the flights (I have a job and don't need the money, but South Korea is my biggest dream). They're still skeptical about the cost. What can I do?
That sounds really great that you are so excited about your dream goal! To convince your parents, you could present an accurate budget planning that includes not only the cost of the flight, but also for accommodation, food and possible activities. Concrete also the personal advantages of the journey, such as cultural experiences and enlargement of the horizon. Show that you’ve thought about it well and are ready to take responsibility.
There are a few thousand euros together.
You seem to have the money and even want to invite your parents.
I can imagine as a parent: travel is consumption, and I would like to wish for my children just so shortly before the start of their own lives that saved money will be used for study, training costs or other long-term investments.
I’d say to my children, save the money and make the trip alone after school, or at studies. Because a journey alone is much cheaper than when the whole family drives so that there is something left for other important things
Are you sure a climate activist who uses kerosene before others do it?
Nothing. If you want to make a vacation in South Korea, do that. Your parents don’t have to.
I’m only 16
Then you wait until you’re old enough. You don’t have to meet all the big dreams right away.
Make an exact list, with the realistich cost of flights at the time, hotel, excursions/sights, catering, traffic and a little buffer for spontaneous.
So you can show them what to get financially adjusted and they can decide whether to fit into the budget or not.
In addition, you will also show that it is important to you and you are willing to invest in and take care of you in addition to money.
If they don’t want it for financial reasons, or for example because they don’t have any interest in the country themselves, so they think it’s an out-of-the-box money for their flights, then you’ll have to wait for the two years until you’re full-year.
Wait till you’re 18 and plan the trip with friends. Talking can lead that your parents have only bad mood on holiday because they don’t like it.
Get books, brochures, etc. Scroll them together. And you’ll tell your parents what you find so great in this country.
But try to understand them: Currently you don’t like the money and find the investment in such a holiday great. But we’re not talking about 400 euros for a pair of pants that you’ll find great and you can regret their purchase. We are talking about several thousand euros, which may be put into the sand.
North or South Korea?
South Korea, in fact also stands
Yes, downstairs, it was only now seen by your hint, thank you!
If you’re old enough anyway, why don’t you just fly alone?
Who wants to make a holiday alone
Me too.
Driving alone on holiday is a great experience – absolutely try out! It is quite different to its surroundings, is more open and more spontaneous. You get more from land and people.
I’m some of those who do that, so be very relaxing.
Me.
I’m 16 lol
Old enough.
I don’t care.
The FS tries to persuade his parents to fly to South Korea. Don’t let him fly alone.
Good for you.
You belong to the minority.
Don’t want to talk, but come with facts. Set up the cost plan and financing plan.
