I've lived with my mother on welfare. She never told me that she didn't buy me stuff in order to teach me a lesson, She told me she simply couldn't afford it. And more recently, I've lived with my father who I can almost guarentee makes more money than 90% of the people you've ever met. He owns 7 airplanes, 5 cars the cheapest of which is an Audi S4, a boat, 8 motorcycles including a Ducati 998, his own airport, and a huge house on a 90 acre plot. He owns and operates Schultz's North Air Flight aerial application service, and Schultz's Polaris and Artic Cat which sells everything from snowmobiles to high end lawn and garden equipment. You know what? He started on the bottom and worked his way up. He made me pay for my first car. It was a 78 Dodge Challenger and I earned the money to buy it working at the airport for minimum wage. I thank him for it too. I've learned more form him that I would from any "rich" parent that would have just given me whatever I wanted. Your snobby rich little boy attitude sucks. You have a lot to learn man.

. Your story does nothing but prove my point. Your parent's prepared you for the reality you're living. Your father probably made it clear to you long ago that you wouldn't be living off his hard work, therefore, you got taught the lessons the rest of us did. A lot of rich parents do let their kids reap the benefits of being rich... in hopes that one day they will take the things they have given them to bigger and better things. And you know what? Most of them do. Money gives people many opportunities that the rest of us won't ever have. It's just how it works.And to call me a spoiled rich kid shows me how much you really know. I simply grew up and were close friends with very many. I used to be jealous of the things they'd get. But I got over it eventually. I'm happy where I'm at, and I have no problems with people above or below me. I think it's quite funny how bent out of shape everyone else gets over "rich kids."

Truth be told, I will live off my father's hard work one day. I'm sorry but there is nothing you can possibly say that will convince me that my opinion isn't correct. EVERY person on this planet should be taught some good old fashioned work ethic. All through High School I live above every one of my friends means. I had a lot. Motorcycles, four wheelers, snowmobiles, jet skis, etc etc. I had it all and it all came with a lesson, and in the end I paid for it all. I learned to appreciate everything I given. I was very lucky to be where I was and I knew it. I was and am to this day very humble about everything I have had and have now. What pisses me off is the spoiled little shits that think their shit doesn't stink because their mommy and daddy have money. These are the same kids that act like they rule the fucking world and behave like the law doesn't apply to them. Now don't get me wrong, there are exceptions to every rule, you and your friends may be exceptions I don't know. You previous post kinds of points otherwise. Look man I don't know how old you are but I'm gonna guess in the 17-19 range. If you are you'll see what I'm talking about. I've been around the block man, I know how shit works. You'll agree with me before too long.

Its funny/sad, Honey is all bent out of shape about this stuff. Maybe people are giving her crap about her situation (parents paying for her gas, car etc.). I meet her once and she looked young. Don't know if she has a job, is even out of High School for that matter (been a while since I saw her). These things vary. If she is in HS/college and rents are helping out that normal. School is work and that it what some parents expect. They don't mind supporting an adult who is young but working hard to lay a foundation for the rest of their life. Of course any charity can be abused but that does not mean parents (or their kids) should be judged for trying to help their child during this time of their life.
Don't forget many parents/husbands/etc cringe at the idea of there children/wife’s/loved ones driving a car that could break down and leave them in a dangerous situation. This drives the sale of many new cars.

As I see it there's nothing wrong with rich folks buying their kids a nice car, just as long as it's not a sports car that requires a lot of experience to drive well. A nice safe Volvo or something would be a much more intelligent choice than a car that's one stripped interior from being a race car (of course as we all know, money can't buy common sense).
