What should I get for my 18th birthday?

luxury watch brands for men list image

Umm what?

So I just turned 18 today. My dad asked me what I wanted and he says that I deserve it cause I'm an adult now and I'm a good son (We're asians, being a good son means a lot, LOL). I live a very comfortable life with wonderful parents. I'm not a "spoiled" brat in anyway but I'm kind of special cause I'm the only male kid they have (I have 3 sisters) :P

I've never asked anything from my parents, except food(which I love, and I ask for food a lot), never asked for a TV, an expensive watch or anything that's a "luxury". I get them as a gift, a reward or whenever my parents feel like I'm not doing anything. For example, when I moved to NYC from Asia, I didn't have to go to school for 4 months (because of the different school systems), so my dad offered to buy me an xbox 360, so I was like heck yeah why not. Yeah I hope that clears things up to any of you that assumes every kid who asks for questions like these are spoiled brats :P

And I do have a job. Sort of. I make Youtube videos so revenue from that is my own money. I do get an allowance of $200 every month and $160 goes to food. $8 everyday for 5 days in the school cafeteria for 4 weeks. The rest goes to more food and movies once every 2 weeks.

So here's a list of what I want and what I THINK I need.

-A new pair of shoes (Last pair I got is 1 year and 3 months old, wearable for maybe 3-4 more months)

-A cellphone (I have a smartphone from 2008 but the screen has like water marks after I took a shower with it, still works tho)

-A PS VITA (omg, looks like a ton of fun, and I don't have a device that I can play games with on the go, although I do have a ps3 and xbox 360 at home)

-A watch would be nice, but I'm not really the kind who cares about the brand and such, I still use a $10 watch I got as a gift.

-A treadmill would be great cause I live in manhattan and my parents hardly let me out cause it's not "safe" and cars are everywhere, lame excuse right?

-Or maybe audio equipment so I can do some mixing, it looks like a lot of fun, never tried "mixing" before.

What are your suggestions? What should I ask for? Not gonna get a car cause, who owns a car in nyc? I don't think they'd get me one anyway, cause cars aren't SAFE. lol. And btw, I was tryna be modest and said I didn't need anything but they insisted. So yeah, thanks for reading.
Antalya, thanks for the reply. I have the best best possible education and my parents don't have to pay a dime for it. Same with college. I'm fortunate enough to be a citizen from a country where education is paid for.

Answer
ask for an education.

With an education you will have the ability to provide yourself with whatever material things you need.
Then you can finally grow up and become the man that your future wife needs you to be.
it does not matter if you are asian or nuprussian, forget race, look inside and find you.
