My parents couldn't afford for me to go on the various ski trips, etc, at school.
Harsh lesson in life for him. Recession and all that. Maybe he could get a paper round, wash cars or do some gardening. At least enough to let you get an FPGAArcade later this year if you do have to sell it now!
Why should it be a harsh lesson, just becsause it was for you. Im sure everybody appreciates parenting lessons.
