People whose parents pay for everything

[winneythepooh7]

OK my last thread got me to thinking about this subject. Now I have been lucky and have had my parents help me out a lot in getting to where I am today, but I am by no means spoiled and they have never bought me a brand new car or anything like that. How do you all feel about this sujbect though? I think it is bad that a lot of people today grow up not knowing what it is like to want things because it makes them appreciate things less in our society. Also in my work I have found that "rich" people can be even more screwed up then the really poor people I work with. I don't personally know too many people that fit this mold, thankfully. Even in undergrad, our sorority was not known to live up to this "stereotype" as I would say the majority of the girls worked 1 and even 2 jobs, and were on a lot of financial aid or scholarships (I also went to a "state" school too in undergrad and not a private school so I am sure that makes a big difference). I guess what I am trying to say is that money is not everything. It is nice and I would love to have more of it but I think you can be happier with "just the basics". Any thoughts? (Please no wise ass or condescending remarks thank you). Also if you "fit the mold of the spoiled rich person" how do you deal with people's sometimes snide remarks or stereotypical thoughts towards you?
