Same here only they have a few more gabillion than me. The whole idea of getting more made me even more inclined to PARTY PARTY PARTY. Not to mention, nothing was said that they can't live with mom or stepdad until they turn 26 to fall back on until more money comes through.newguyhere said:Yeah but those kids have to make that 50 grand last a few years. After that they still have a gabillion dollars left to last them the rest of their lives.
I just know my attitude during that time in my life and I can say in all honesty, giving an 18 year old a big amount of money is not smart. I, personally, would have been better off being given an allowance by my parents...pay for school, living expenses and, since the money was there, a nice limit on a credit card or something. And to make it all count, a stipulation that my grades were all A's and B's. The money made it easy for me to be irresponsible.
Just my thoughts.
