I guess i was pretty lucky. I asked my grandad to help me out cos he knew i was serious about learning guitar and my dad wasn't listening to me. He told me i couldn't have one cos i wouldnt use it. So i out half to it and my grandad put the other half to it as an early bday present... My dad wasn't happy Very Happy But i'm in a band now as the front(wo)man so it all worked out Very HappyVery HappyVery Happy

Well... if you had a choice, i'd rather get it as a present. It proves they believe in my interests and are encouraging me. Plus, it works out cheaper for me. Laughing
Plus, they must really love me to get me something that nice Very Happy
Sooooo... in conclusion.. i disagree with you Very Happy

Independance?
I am independant, well, I'm counted as being independant, so I get Youth Allowance. But I kinda saving my money for my future. Although I don't know why I'm disagreeing with you as I actually did buy my own guitar.
