I feel pretty normal in this crowd. I was blessed to graduate from college debt free, always have a safety net in worst case scenario but have also worked steadily since the week I turned 16. They bought me cars but they tended to be used Japanese cars that were reliable but pretty basic transportation.
I'd also like to add that not everyone who spoils their kids are that wealthy and not all wealthy people spoil their kids. Some people are just a lot more frugal than others. My parents have gotten where they are today by saving, investing, living below their means and working their asses off. That afforded them the ability to help my brother and I a great deal. However, we've also had an excellent financial model to learn from over the years and a decent understanding of the value of money. In the end it's not about how much they gave you but what they taught you in the process.
