Nah, its not so much that I'm protective of my grandparents, as a matter of fact I only see them a couple times a year since they live pretty far away. Its just wierd, I just dont feel like people have to give me stuff for free no matter how much they make. We own a family business with revenue over 10m a year (notice i said revenue not profit), so you could say my parents could pretty much buy me anything they wanted to but they dont and I dont feel like they need to. They earned thier money working hard and building a business and I'm earning mine.



Different people are different though, thats what makes the world go around......Oh yea, go check out something like a 2001 Miata, that are a lot of fun to drive and extremely reliable and can be made fast reliably!!!!

I think with a stmt like that all you should get is a swift kick in the ***. why does everything have to be given to you? Be a man and earn it and i dont want to hear about school and **** like that. I know a lot of people that earn thier own stuff while in school.



And dont get me wrong its not the fact that your getting money, its the attitude that you feel like if they dont give you a $20K car they are cheap ******.



They need to give your *** a bicycle so you can get your *** up to a job.



Dont go off saying I'm jealous either, my parants could have given me anything I wanted (and still could) but I choose to work for what I get and always have. It just kills me to think people feel like they are due so much in life

Well said, man.



My folks paid for half of my '86 GXL, and even though the car wasn't the greatest (burned oil from the start), I shouldn't have treated it like **** like I did. Now that I'm paying for my '89 out of my own pocket (only ~1300 bucks left!), I appreciate the car much more.
