That is all.

sure but i believe if you teach the kids right they'll see right through all that ghetto bullshit which is full of materialism anyways. have you ever seen that show 'the princes of malibu'? perfect example of kids who were handed everything to them their whole lives and know despite whatever threats that if they work or not, their lifestyle will be paid for.
you can still give your kid a great life full of everything you provide them. your home can still be a place to get away with the world with all the luxuries you have bought for yourself or the family but for things such as their own cars, their own plasma tvs and a nice apartment for 1k a month are things to be earned, not given. teach the bird how to fly...as gay as that sounds.
