You can count me as one of the spoiled I guess
Parents gave me a family car at 16 then a brand new one for 18th Birthday and HS graduation, paid for private school tuition, then college tuition (plus I got loans to cover what they couldn't) also paid for all sorority stuff, rent, utilities, cell, gas, insurance, they gave me some of their credit cards - never had one independent of them until I graduated college...Then they paid for my wedding. After that I was on my own. I did have jobs starting at 16 to pay for extras. I didn't get an allowance my parents thought it was better to give me money based on what I was doing (ie movies here's $10-20). From my aspect this was better, I definitely had more spending money
Thing is I don't feel spoiled. I feel lucky, blessed, loved... My parents struggled to provide for me what they thought I needed and I don't think any of us regret the decisions that they made. I can only pray that when/if I have children I will be able to do the same (minus the loans) for my children.
