    What advantage are you giving your kid by not making them earn their part in life and not have it handed to them.

    I can see Parents supporting them in their endeavors to a certain extent.

    Not everything has to be earned by hard work in life. There are plenty of advantages......look at education. I wasnt able, nor my parents to afford to pay out of pocket for TCU's outrageous out of state tuition, so i got loans......loans which to this day i'm still paying, and probably will be for quite some time. Sometime parents work harder, so their kids dont have to go through the same rigors they did in life to be successful at something. So, his parents bought him a car, a car that he plans to use to further both his dreams and his career.....wouldnt, as a parent, you want this for your child? to see him succeed, be proud that you helped in making his dream a reality......So he didnt work a 65 hr work week for 3 years to be able to afford it......did your parents make you work full time, while in school and start charging you rent when you turned 16? no, so does that not make you spoiled according to your terms?

    Actually no it doesn't make me spoiled by any terms I do agree w/ parents seeking a higher education for their kids, since then the money is being used in terms of an investment as long as you learn the criteria that you are studying. Also by law you cannot work a full time (legal job till you're over 18 (some jobs bend this rule as I know)) But while I was in college I did work a full time job not because my parents made me either I wanted to earn my own to prove to my parents that I was worth their time and money they were spending on my education.

    And there is no malice in my words I'm just stating a point. Which is if he's not putting forth any effort in the endeavor he is pursuing then he's just in it for the free ride at mom & dad's expense.


    (Nothing against you personally Matthew just stating opinions of my own)

    And a race car isnt a long term investment, just like ones education? Conventional schooling isnt for everyone......i also have no clue what he does to actually deserve what he's given, i'm just giving another perspective to the situation......there is no need for jealousy

    No but the product from the education is the longterm portion of the investment just like the race car, assume he does very well and excels in his racing career then it was a positive investment and re-enforcing a positive return on you kids future...

    Bwahhaha.. how else would he pay for the gas..
