You are right. I am little old fashioned type of a person. I do not believe in handing over to my kids the best there is. I supply them enough to get their job done and some but not get extravagant about it. If she wants a Rolex, she needs to get it once she has a job and finished college and has her basic needs taken care of.
She wants a fancy car because of her driver's license she is about to get, I told her you will be driving our 10yr old honda accord. Be thankful at least that you are getting a car. She wanted a mini cooper. I can easily afford to give it to her, but it is a matter of principle. Make use of what we have in our family and keep your dreams as an incentive to complete college --- Rolex, cars, house, it will all come in due time once she has matured enough and is on her own.
I understand these teenage impluses ... I had them too but I was thankful to my parents to whtever they could provide and I knew my time would come if I had a good carrer
andworked hard and saved my pennies....so I want her to experience that.
