Well there you go. You know exactly what I'm talking about... Life comes with a lot of costly responsibilities. But for you to call folks less fortunate than yourself "*******s" for being "jealous" is just immature and naive. My point also speaks to the OP's assumption that its as simple as: Sorry bud, that's not reality. Also, grow up. Did someone really make you feel like less of a person for being fortunate enough to have wealthy parents who buy you nice and expensive things? If so, that's on them, not you.
technically as far as I have always been taught.. it IS pudding.... as in teh dessert... ie.. the END result....
The point of my thread was not to whine yet to stand up for everyone that gets haetd on for having money. Earned money is money earned, whether its a lot or a little....I appreciate everything I have and I value my life and everyone in it....what I don't like is poeple trying to hinder my success due to their lack there of....I don't get butt-hurt very easily but it seems that when someone pulls in at our meets with a nice car people whisper and snicker at who actually owns the car.
Judging by the number of cars you have gone through in a short period of time, I doubt that is the case. People don't appreciate what they have if someone else paid for it. They have no personal investment in it. That's just how it is. Get bored with what you have, and since money doesn't matter, get something different. Repeat. No offense, man. I wish I had the funds to do that. But, I have a house, two cars, a wife and a cat to pay for. (Thank God I finally paid off my student loans!)
boo hoo, I have money and so do my parents... is this a pitty party for the well off. STFU. seriously you have nothing better to do then whine about being succesfull... get over yourself.
I knew nothing of you before this tread, now I know you're rich kid and whine about it. So what success we're talking about? People hate rich kids not because they're rich, but because they think that except for being lucky of being born in the rich family, they don't seem that much different, and that does not seem 'fair'. So show people that even though your money comes from parents, you are well worth it. If you don't have to work there are plenty of other ways of being rich and not picked on about it. Like get a crazy-high test scores, get into best college there is, get 4.0 there etc. So basically get really good at smth and people will see that you might be worth that money. Starting out in a rich family is a huge boost, and people having a headstart are far more likely to have decent wages later in life, so I think its okay for less fortunate to feel jealous, since they know all too well that they won't have opportunities equal to yours and chances are that no matter how hard they try they will never get all those goodies you're getting now for free, and since you don't seem any better, that again does not seem 'fair' and that pisses people off more than many other things. Being a rich kid and expecting 'equal' treatment among less lucky people is kinda stupid. Especially if you tell them to go work harder, when they are working a lot already. So, like I said, go do smth that will separate you from the ranks of spoiled rich kids and you'll be treated a lot better.
I can't even express how much your thread frustrates me, but I just read dman's post and I can't agree more. I've written and deleted my post about 5 times and can't seem to put it together in such a way that I get my point across without sounding like a complete d1ck. [Schwarzenegger]Stop Whining.[/Schwarzenegger ]
HAHA!! I like that. this whole thread is pointless...what a waste of f*in time reading all of this nonsense about some dude having parents with money.
Not to be an ass...but seriously. wtf is the point. People are always gonna have beef with you no matter what you do or say. That is the way it works. Just drive your damn subaru and enjoy it, no matter who paid for it.
WOW, I thought you were alright till I read this stupid thread. Dman nailed it. Go try to get a REAL job and see if you can just work really hard and be rich. I wish I could be there when the cold fist of reality punches you in the junk...or are you just going to continue being grateful of your father's hard work and suckle the teat some more. Yeah, if my parents bought me a nice car, I'd drive it. I wouldn't lie about where I got it, and I'd keep a level head and remember that it is just transportation and enjoy the fact that I have it. If people wanted to give me a ration of crap about it, that's fine. But I wouldn't get all asshurt and post this sobbing crap on a car forum. Sorry, no sympathy for you. Get a thicker skin and stop caring what others think, also, get over yourself.
And the last thing I'll ever be is jealous of some simpering, teary eyed, rich kid. You go cry with your rich kid problems of being so wealthy and getting picked on. Your life must be so rough. I bet you cry yourself to sleep in a fluffy blanket made of 100 dollar bills. You poor thing. You know what, there are people on this earth that work themselves near to death and struggle to ****ing eat and they worry about people making jokes about how downtrodden they look. Why don't you go serve soup downtown to people that are down on their luck. **** you you pompous punk. I can't believe you would even think that it was a good idea to come in here and look for a shoulder to cry on about getting picked on for having a well off family. Here's an idea, if you don't want to get ragged on for being a rich little brat, stop buying and selling new sports cars every 6 months on daddy's dime. The more I read your first post the more I wish you'd just get lost.
she pulled a ninja edit. ruined the funny comment I had. well, it wasn't funny but it made me lol. 4 times.
yes readymix is the only one that said it... several had. Personly this thread should be locked, deleted and replaced with one of Taras's threads as his now don't looks so worthless.
You're welcome. I got hit with a few AIM messages about this. Honestly, I've seen Se7enWRX on this forum for a while now. I figured he had some money because of all the financially stupid car decisions he was making, but up until I saw this thread I had no idea he was a spoiled little rich kid. I figured he has some good money from working or something, but it never crossed my mind because he wasn't a d-bag about it and seemed level headed. Then he went and made this stupid thread. True colors, shining through. There are people that are in dire straits for money, people that have to sacrifice every day to make it, and the people doing what they can to make ends meet aren't some dirtbag panhandling downtown MPLS, some of them are people that are on this forum. And they don't give you even a glimpse at their financial problems or ask for your sympathy. And here you are, whining about having a bunch of money from your mom and dad and getting picked on for being well off, for having food on your table every day, and having a free car to drive? G E T F * C K E D! Come back to the big kid table with your problems when you have a legitimate gripe. I hope you choke to death on 100 dollar bills.
Several said it, but readymix didn't beat around the bush about it. And this thread is whats getting me through my 20 hr shift today. lol
I didn't read past your post, Will, but I have to agree with this 100%. I don't know what sparked this, but if anyone has been ripping on your because your parents are successful, they can go **** themselves.
I don't think anyone is ripping on him for his parents being successful. I know I am not. I am ripping on him for whining about it. It just comes across real harsh for him to say my parents are successful and they buy me lots. and if you are not well off you need to work harder. I have busted my ass off for everything I have. I have had my fair share of hard ships, and have never asked for hand outs or sympathy, prayers yes, hand outs NO.
Let me help out the next sucker that falls into the trap of reading this entire thread (like I did), read the first post, than go to post 61-62...you'll get the idea.
There's a big difference between setting a kid up for a great life, and spoiling them. my parents have money. they payed for my schooling, bought my house (although it's not entirely free.....I pay most of the utilities), etc. Technically they've purchased 2 cars for me. But the Loyale didn't cost much ~10 years ago, and my dad drove it for about 5 before I got it......and the blue wagon cost $150, and broke down on the way home from buying it :laugh: you are right though, it's never the kid's fault :roll:
So wait, let me get this strait... You're parents pay for all your cars and YOU'RE the one with all the problems?
hmm...this seems like a really well beat topic. Obviously everyone has pretty solid opinions, and good facts to relay them. Its as simple as, who gives a crap. If you appreciate the things you have, and the privileges you're alotted in our nation, you deserve to be happy and enjoy the life. If you dont have a lot of money and look at those who do with distaste, no one has ever stopped you from succeeding. Granted some need to work harder than others to further themselves, due to a present situation, you have been given the tools (rights) to complete your goals. Those with nice things that have been given to them in many cases have paid a price that they dont understand. For instance, some parents werent around a lot in order to give tangibles to their children. There is a difference between buying your child's love, and loving your child, and buying them things that make their life smoother. Those that work hard for the things they want, appreciate them, and those that are given things, but understand the sacrifice paid for them, appreciate. My pointless .02
lol wow, you guys can really be a bunch of dbags. Will is probably more intelligent and level headed than 90% of this club. true he goes through cars like crazy, but other than that you would NEVER know he/his family has money. you guys completely spin this thread to make it seem like he is crying about it...which is totally NOT true. just think before you act. meet the person first then judge.....for example, there are a few people in here i truly think are liars and manipulaters but i absolutely didnt make that judgement of character before meeting them in person(i met them, realized they were real life sobs then made the call). and yes, 90% of it is absolutely jealousy. of course there is the teenage young punk that has no clue about life and gets money handed to him/her but there are also ALOT of kids that have a much better head on their shoulders because of their parents wealth because they were able to grow up and watch success first hand.
I really don't think anyone cares if he has nice things weather he bought them himself or were given to him from succesful parents. I know I don't. I have met the guy before and he seemed like a great guy. I believe the conflict lies with him coming on here and saying I am well off because of my parents and people tease me. I am guessing that the teasing was made by uneducated punks that do not know him for who he is. I saw a sign at work at it said: Great people talk about ideas Big people talk about things and Little people talk about other people. if you have money people are going to talk, just the same as if you don't have money they are going to talk. Its part of life. I still believe this thread should be deleted!!
I've been buddies with will for...wow...around, 5 years now? He's one of the few buddies I throw my respect at. I couldnt ask for a better friend. I could care less what car he has or how he paid for it. The point is that I never will be as head over heels for cars as he is. Granted, I'm a little obsessed, but theres a huge difference between me and will. I lived with him for quite awhile, and he's the guy who if he had to choose between eating and car parts, went with car parts. He spends more time on car sites than he does sleeping. Really, its gay that people are so ignorant. Just know that there are good people out there who enjoy cars as much as you do, and in regards to that, money doesnt mean much. PS, Will has incredibly loyal friends who have his back regardless, which says something. I'll be the first to say I'm one, so if you do have an issue with him, next time I'm home maybe we can straighten things out.
