I worry alot about what my kids will be like when they get older. I say to myself that I will teach them work ethic, to value money earned and to have the right coping skills so that when they go out to the working world they are ready.
On the other hand, it is hard not to give your kids things that make them happy if I can easily afford it. Like trips to Disney, more hot wheel cars than they could ever play with and decked out computers to play Lego Star Wars. And my kids are only 4/2. When they get older I am sure I will be dealing with even more expensive toys, designer clothes and then eventually cars. I hope I can address all these things and still have well adjusted kids.
I think one of the hardest things to do will be saying no to my kids in order to "build character", even though I know it will be what is best for them.Comment

Consider this. Say you are worth $500 million. Is there anything wrong with giving your child $20 million in assets so they DON'T have to ever work? What's the big deal about work anyway? Why do you need a work ethic if you are given $10s of millions? Nope, what ya need there are some good lessons on money management and fiscal responsibilty.

I don't agree. If I get a gift I appreciate it and respect it as much if not more than if I worked for it.
It comes down to values. I grew up in a very comfortable home but I also was taught to work and earn at an early age. I was working when I was 12. I was taught how to save and be frugal, so I knew the value of a dollar.
I bought my own cars, but I did get one as a gift from my folks once and I can tell you it was appreciated. I've returned those same favors and have done good things for others in my family. What goes around comes around and if someone knows the value of work, they will appreciate a gift.Comment

You're lucky to have a father like that. I would've just smacked you around the head.Originally posted by Fucksakesmy father got me my first pedal bike from the dump.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

I guess alot would hinge on whether that child was equipped to handle such a large gift. You could just be enabling drug addiction, gambling addiction, retardation of social and interpersonal skills etc. I am not saying that the child needs to go through a rigorous education in the school of hard knocks, but if EVERYTHING in life is given, where is the sense of accomplishment and other important building blocks in the development of your child going to come from?Originally posted by Almighty ColinConsider this.

It's not the cost that bothers me it's the inexperience of young drivers in fast cars that's the issue. When I was in high school, a friend of a friend was bought a porsche 911 for his 18 birthday by his parents, and within 6 months he wrapped it around a tree and killed himself.
They should have just bought him a handgun with a feather trigger and no safety.$ CLICKMEMEDIA.COM $ CONVERTING ETHNIC TRAFFIC SINCE 1998 ~ $30+PPS

Don't worry about it. You're a "Have not"Originally posted by kristinSo we live in Tucson, UofA is a huge campus and we go up to University all the time for food, bars, etc. It drives me frickin' nuts to see kids drive around in BMW's, Mercedes or Range Rovers knowing mommy and daddy paid for it.
Did your parents ever buy you a expensive car or would you ever buy your kids one?Comment

Because of the attitude it brings. I guess I think more of girls in these situations. The university is a big greek school. So one day I'm up at Penguin's (a frozen yogurt place) and there is help wanted sign and this one girl who is all sorority-ed out says to her friend very sarcastically "Oh look you can work here." Then they laughed. During my college years I'd killed to work at Penguin's, that place is the best.Originally posted by Almighty ColinConsider this. Say you are worth $500 million.

What I am getting at isn't that they drive the nicest cars, it's that they drive the nicest cars mom and dad paid for and have no concept of money or work.
And I know they are expceptions, and the one guy I saw with the "bumping" BMW, I did honestly think he could be an adult webmaster.Comment
