My mom was very nice and bought me a $4,000 Toyota Corolla (it was 3 years old) back in 1993 when I turned 16. I was very grateful.. and drove it to the very wealthy public school I attended each day. It was a lot of fun parking it between BMW's, Merceedes, Chevy Tahoes, etc... seriously, there were kids driving $60,000 cars (and Ironically most of them had the drinking/drug problems as well).

Parents have only gotten worse since then.. 25 year olds living at home for free.. not working or going to school, just smoking pot in moms basement while playing PS3 all night - to tired to get up before noon the next day to look for a job.

But, honestly I think the parents are the enablers, and take over half of the blame.

I plan on making my 3 year old pay for 1/2 of her big-wheel this year. ;) Ahh.. if only that would work!
