Its really quite the dilemma for the parents. As a parent, you always want to give your children a better life than the one you had. However, you also need to teach your children the value of a dollar and how to earn their own money. Most parents usually shy away from the latter.

I was thinking about this the other day. I really didn't have much "stuff" when I was younger. In high school I started to accumulate "stuff", but I bought all of it myself with money I earned. Computer, stereos, music, concerts, etc. My brothers on the other hand have lived a totally different childhood. They have been given their "stuff". Computers, guitars, snowboards, clothes, etc. Now, they have part-time jobs (they're in school) but they blow every cent on small stupid things and get my parents to buy the "big" stuff. Key example, my brother is a freshman in college and still doesn't have his own car.

I hope they snap out of it someday and realize the real value of money.
