Is this fair of my mother?

Okay so, I'm getting a new phone within 2-7 business days le Galaxy Note. Anyways my mom refused the really expensive plans but I convinced her since we would get 15% off each month and also our other electronic devices like home phone, internet, etc since everything is with Rogers a canadian service provider. So... we ended up on a three-year plan, $62.13 for: but we would get it for 52:80 o.O

But my mother made me pay $300 x.x out of my $400 dollars left from my bday... so that leaves me with $100 yet the phone only costs $230 with taxes included. So in the end... I'm pretty bummed out because I really want to go to a concert and I hate asking for money especially in the summer.. So do you think it was fair for my mom? I mean I don't have a job but taking another $70 when I'm supposed to be having the happiest times of my life sucks. Also, my friends have the same plan as me and she doesn't owe her rents anything! ugh

Edit: fineee fudge, i wont go to a concert anymore QQ

[quote=RugbyBall]@teenagedream: I'm not gonna argue with you, but I'm going to flat out say that you need the reality check more than I do. You made a thread asking if what your mom did was fair or not without taking into consideration how much you're paying compared to your mom. You're paying $230 + tax. Your mom is paying exactly $1,900.80. Be happy that you convinced your mom to get you a phone that you really wanted and leave it at that.[/quote]

idk gurl, a lot of my frands have the same plan as me but they dont pay for it doee

@RugbyBall: Hun, I fully opened my perspective towards this thread because sometimes I can be stubborn and in denial- I admit. I've already taken my advice... it seems you need a reality check but I ain't no doctor phil~

@RugbyBall: Obviously you can't read the comments before yours, I fully said I'll suck it up. Sorry I'm such a primadonna! Nope, don't judge before you don't know a person... I barley buy anything at all compared to other people :$ You need to re-evaluate your one-sided perspective.

@hatinlife: No, I was planning on going to a coldplay/marina and the diamonds concert but it's like 135$$$ maybe next time

@Margarita: I'm a guy, but thanks for the comfort <3

Rogers is a horrible company. Just buy the phone unlocked and go with one of the newer companies like Wind or Mobilicity. For 45$ a month you get unlimited everything.

Well since shes paying the 52:80$ for the plan every month for 3 years, it seems completely fair.
