How To Get a Raise In Your Pocket Money



1. Say that you need more money because of recession

2. Mention that you don't have any friends left ‘cos you've borrowed from all of them

3. Tell them your friends got this much allowance when they were 10

4. Say you're not learning to save because you never have any money left

5. Say you need more money as all your notes have to be photocopied

6. If they refuse, go emotional. Say things like "I thought you cared for me!"

7. Promise not to ask for an increase for the next 5 years. Say that every time you borrow more money from them!

8. Say you'll repay everything once you start earning

9. Promise to pass all your exams if they increase your allowance

10. Say that if you have more money, you'll make quality purchases and save in the long run

11. At home be seen writing with chalk and slate
When they ask say you have no money to buy pens 'cos of inflation

12. Fail in your exams once. Then ask for money to join tuition classes

13. Come home wearing a circus clown costume
When parents ask, say "Oh, this is just from the part-time job I am doing to support myself"

14. Say you want to learn about investments and savings. For that you need to have money to begin with

15. Start singing, "Oh mere Papa the great!"

16. Have friends call home asking for their money to be returned
