<p>car that only cost 15k huh? LOL</p>
<p>man if i get a car that costs over 1000 ill be shocked</p>
<p>lol yeah guitarman…</p>
<p>i have to wear uniforms for school and sometimes i just have to rewear clothes until the others get washed.</p>
<p>ive never experienced “rich” people like some of these guys though…my whole school is pretty poor</p>
<p>depends on your definition of spoiled…:)</p>
<p>yeah there’s no people like that where I’m from either. Mostly poor people around here…but I guess that’s how it is in small towns for the most part.</p>
<p>How many people go to your school Guitarman? I’ve got 600 k-12 here.</p>
<p>My family is relatively well off and my parents pay for most of my expenses. My parents buys me the things I want most of the time but I don’t demand anything at all and I’m grateful for everything they give me.</p>
<p>I would give myself a 9
we just moved here 2 years ago form E.Europe and when people hear my accent they automatically think that I am a poor girl who has no money and she will have a better life… hahaha they are sooo wrong
We travel a lot, my parents give me anything I want, I have almost no chores, I got diamond necklace and earrings for my sweet 16, we have 3 houses etc. I don’t, though, tell anyone about that because I feel like I don’t deserve it))
PS - I do, however, tell people that a lot of people from my city are rich… it just bothers me how americans think that people can only have a good life in America!!!</p>
<p>fromthesouth:</p>
<p>We’ve got 900 kids in my high school, but that’s a combination of people from my town and 5 surrounding small towns. (They combined the small towns to make one decent size high school.)</p>
<p>It sucks because some people have to drive like 15-20 miles or more to school everyday.</p>
<p>I have no idea how much my parents make, but I think it’s in the mid to maybe upper six figures before taxes. My mom’s a VP at a very large software company, and my dad’s an (outside, for those who know/care) sales rep at another software company. </p>
<p>Um, I’m pretty spoiled, though, I think. Maybe a 7?</p>
<p>*I don’t have any “set” chores, but I clean out my rabbit’s cage, feed him, clean up my room, run errands for my mom, help cook (my mom’s a total foodie), bake, carry things, etc. Basically if they ask me to do something I do it, which I think is pretty standard, yeah?
*I had two “jobs”, but I was laid off from one in November. I still work 2 hours a week at a day care, and I used to work six as a receptionist at a dance studio. Not very much, but the day care pays 20$ an hour, and I’ve been doing it since ninth grade.
*I get very spoiled for Christmas/Birthdays. See the Christmas presents thread for details.
*My cell phone is paid for (family plan), but I don’t use it much, so. My car and insurance are paid for too.
*My car is a 96 Honda Accord, willed to me by my aunt. It recently got hit by a bus, but it’s being fixed. It has a new-ish HD radio and a gps, which were Christmas presents from last year and this year.
*My parents pay for private school for me (20000/year)
*My mom is always saying I don’t have any nice clothes, so she shops for me sometimes. I never ask for clothes or clothes money, though, except for my birthday/Christmas.
*They give me lunch money but no allowance, and I pay for itunes and going out with friends. They give me gas money.
*They pay for me to dance, which adds up to about 4gs a year.</p>
<p>Um yeah. I’m lucky. I know it. It’s because my parents are really generous. They let my brothers’ friends (who are in their early-mid twenties)live with us when they’re going through tough times, or when they want to, and Sunday dinners at my house usually have 10+ people.
EDIT: this makes me sound like a brat, sorry. I’m really nice, once you get to know me.</p>
<p>I’m not spoiled in like a material sense. Sure my parents buy me iPod Touches and Macbooks (only one of each…), but they would never buy anything without good reason… like a car for example. But I’m spoiled because I never do chores, I don’t cook, I make my parents bring me water when I’m in bed, I talk back to my parents and they submit to me. Yeah, I’m spoiled. I wish my parents would love me less so I can actually do things that would help me in life… Like my mom has explicitly said, “I am living for you, to see you live a good life.” But that’s what I get for being an only child…</p>
<ol>
<li>Would give a 100 actually.
My parents aren’t really rich BUT I am incredibly spoilt. But then, I’m not materialistic in the least, I’ve never cared about clothes, technology or anything else.
Although, we do eat out a lot, so most of the money goes towards food.
I’ll tell you why I think I am SO spoilt-</li>
<li>I do whatever I want-
2.I NEVER listen to my parents- back-answer/ talk back to them most of the time</li>
<li>I’ve developed a serious case of senioritis and never to any homework/study–
4.I get really angry if I don’t get what I want–</li>
<li>I’m super mean to my parents if they don’t let me go out to eat with my friends or if they don’t let me be on the computer or t.v. </li>
<li>I’m very rarely nice/polite to my parents even though they’ve basically sacrificed their lives for my education and my apparently oh-so bright future.
I don’t know what to say for myself.
After all this, I can still say that I am a really nice person and I will help you out through anything- just as long as you’re not one of my parents. Ha ha.</li>
</ol>
<p>Wow I would get a swift smack in the face if I talked back to my parents lol…either that or get kicked out in a second. </p>
<p>Basically if I say anything back that isn’t warranted (I.E. I tell my mom to quit being stupid or something like that)…I end up roofing the house or something for a week. Lol.</p>
<p>So yeah Hirokee…sorry but you sound like a huge dou.che. </p>
<p>I couldn’t imagine being that way to my parents…you do realize what parents go through to make a better life for their kids?</p>
<p>Yes. I do sound like a ******.
My parents are just very different from other parents. There are a lot of personal issues and family problems. I guess I take it out on my parents- I can’t wait for college so that I can leave them to be all happy and peaceful.</p>
<p>I’m probably a 7/10.</p>
<p>Even though my parents make about 130k, I still remember when together they only made 50k so from now on I don’t ask for much, just what i need. My parents want to buy me things now since they can afford to, but I’m like nahhhh, just help me out with college loans.</p>
<p>I still pay for most of my stuff like games, clothes etc. Only thing i wish they give me is my moms old civic honda haha…</p>
<p>5/10.According to my parents I ask for too much…but really, I don’t get half of the things that I ask for. Plus, I do all the chores.</p>
<p>let me guess hirokee.
asian parents?</p>
<p>I don’t know. I think I’m a pretty interesting case.</p>
<p>My parents make 200k+ (combined); neither came from money, my father was poor growing up.</p>
<p>They give me money when asked (which I rarely do), pay for gas, pay insurance, pay my cell bill (except for things such as games and texts).</p>
<p>But I hold a 10 hour job working 5-7 days a week during the summer, drive one of their cars because my mother commutes to and from work via train, I have many chores, I get one pair of sneakers every 2-3 years, I rarely buy clothes, I’m paying part of my college tuition, etc, etc, etc.</p>
<p>I find that most of my friends who have less money are more spoiled than I am. My dad refuses to spoil my brother and me because of where he came from. I have friends who’s parents make half of what mine make always asking their parents for money, always buying clothes, and always getting things handed to them.</p>
<p>But just because a person gets more than you do doesn’t make them spoiled. Ya dig?</p>
<p>Oh god please don’t say “ya dig”.</p>
<p>i guess i’m pretty spoiled…my parents don’t make a lot of money, but they definetly give me a lot. i go shopping a lot… i guess i’m a little materialistic. i’ve never have worked before and i turned 16 a few months ago…i will help out around the house, if they ask me to. my parents and i have a pretty good relationship though. but they do pay for my cellphone… i have my dad’s old car, even though i don’t have my license yet, just my permit… and i don’t pay insurance or anything… but i am very thankful because i know my parents give me alot especially considering they don’t make a lot.</p>
