You are on this forum, you just beat Sapple 89 who is 17 who has a 2.7. The youngn and I are 19.


Be forewarned though, I think the world see's us as spoiled brats.
At least they call it as they see it. Running out and buying a 15 year old a $65K + car for Easter remarkable.

I cannot comprehend what goes through a parents mind that qualifies purchasing a 65K sports car for a kids first car.

I personally would never do such a thing for my sons and I am a huge fan of them saving up and buying their own car, its their first step toward being independant and letting them suck off the teat for the first car will just set a precendent for their entire life.

The Millionair Next Door discusses families like this kids where there are constand handouts from the parents starting at a young age. Children of people who are big earners and under accumulators of wealth tend to follow the example of the parents and end up being a financial drain on them for their entire life.

I guess I should call my dad and thank him for forcing me to earn everything I have today.
