Parents who pay for everything

[Virgin Mary]

Well if people were smart then they wouldn't have to resit. If I were the queen of education I wouldn't allow it because it's simply cheating!

[benjamin]

my mum has always offered to give me whatever i want because my dad only gives me a tenna every time i go see him, but i'm not a selfish spoilt brat and i don't take it, and if i do i feel bad.

so i got a job to earn my own money :}

[Slowpoke]

i'm like this, i get everything i ask for pshh

[Pyroka]

I'm sort of like that, but I try to pay everything I can with my own job. I can't say I don't try to pay my way through life, with a Primark wage haha. I won't buy stuff if I really can't afford to. I've sold stuff before just to put up with phone bills because I never got lent any money. Stuff like that just adds to life experience.

Tbh heres how i see it, if i really want something i will get it bought for me, but its not exactly given to me as nothing ususally as an insentive to get me to do more work or as a present because i got a A in my ICT etc. I wouldnt walk into harrods and be like I had need that £4000 leathure jacket but i do like to be spolit as it were, for example, i was shopping the other day and mum was with me and these jeans were £90 and this really nice jacket was £50 and i was like i want them both but ive only got £100 and i paid for the jeans and my mum paid for the jacket now what is so bad about that ?

Rich people don't annoy me, but those who flash the money and buy crap for their kids do annoy me A lot of people stereotype me to be spoilt because I'm quite "posh" - I admit I do get school and outings and stuff paid for me but I never go on expensive holidays, get massive presents or just get stuff randomly bought for me. People think that I get everything bought for me, but I work for money which gets me what I want eg. laptop, Wii, PC. One of my mates gets everything he wants - if he asks for something, he gets it. He's already got an iPhone this way and he's getting a MacBook Air soon.

Definitely annoys me, my sister got a job as soon as she turned 16 but she's made me realise how important it is to get a job as she's bought her self some nice things since she's got a job.

I will certainly need and try for a job when I'm 16, I want lots of nice electrical products, driving lessons, a car and to go to university, I'll have to fund these all myself. What really irritates me is that my parents won't pay a penny towards university, I plan to do a rather long course and I'm going to end up working so much to fund this.

My parents do pay for most of my stuff, but I do not take it for granted. Ever! I'm 13 though and I said at the age of 14 I will get a job so I won't have to rely on my parents for everything. I like the independence.

My parents don't give me money either, but I guess its for the best really. As it teaches you how to value money, as it's pretty important. Everything I have wanted I have had to save up for.

If you are wanting more money get an ISA, as its a really good method of saving and most building societies have good deals, just a matter of looking around. In a matter of months I've managed to max my account out for this financial year, and the money in the account I don't miss cause it's earning me interest .

It's sort of acceptable when you are 13 years of age though. A paper round isn't hardly going to buy you necessities such as clothes. But people 16 + should be employed in my opinion.
