My neigbor' s (spoiled rotten) son received a new celica for his 18th bday a couple weeks ago, and now he went and got that laborghini orange paint job.. looks nice as hell but with that 3000$ he could have done a lot better things than a paintjob!

Yeah, I agree.
You know what? I think most of the reason rich people are snobs are because of the spoiled kids they raise. I believe the people who make the money themselves, for the most part, have a good understanding of the value of money. But if you're just given it, you're a fucking snob. My kids aren't going to get shit. They are going to learn what money means, and how to make it themselves.
Warren Buffet - the world's richest invester, one of the world's richest people (top 4, used to be #1 if it weren't for 3 microsoft owners) - won't even pay his daughter's $2000 visa debt. His net worth about $30 billion. He explains that 'why should she be given a head start?' It's like a race, and why should people whose father were runners start at the 50 yard line when everyone else starts at 0? Most importantly, it makes them learn. Secondly, it makes them avoid becomming snobs (that couldn't make a dime if thrown on the street with nothing).
Anyone agree?
