Did you ever see something and say, "Oh, that's just not right!" Well, let's discuss those things.
MINE:
Today, a few kids that play in a summer camp here at work were talking. I over heard something about one of the boys, 17 years old just getting a new car from mom and dad for High School Graduation.
The words, "Porsche Boxster" were uddered. At first I didn't believe it. So a few minutes ago, I actually went outside and sure enough and brand new Convertible Porsche Boxster S is sitting there in the lot.
http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/boxster/boxster-s/ - it's this exact one.
This really, really makes me mad. A 17 year old kid should never under any circumstances be given a $55,000 vehicle for a present. Ever... Ever... Ever...Ever... EVER! It's just so unbelieveable wrong it's insane. This kid cannot in anyway understand what $55,000 is or what it takes to earn that kind of money. The bottomline is that it's just plain stupid.
If the kid was smart, he'd say, "Hey, mom & dad... If you're willing to drop $55,000 on a car, why don't you just buy me a cheap used car for $5,000." Give me the $50,000 and put it in a Money Market Account. $50,000 @ around 2.5% per month is $1,250 earned per month. Hold that account for about 10 years. When he gets out of college by 27 years old he'll have $150,000 3 times what was give to him. Over 30 years he could have close to a million if not more.
I hate rich people who give their kids insane gifts that are worth more then half of what I make in a year of hard work.
