I agree all that matters is being happy. I was happy when I made a quarter of what I make now. Appreciate what you have earned for yourself, in the long run you will be better off. I like to use people more wealthy than myself as motivation. Now I am also a realist and know I will never own a Lamborghini without hitting the lotto and I don't play the lotto so I'm SOL haha!

Especially around my area....

Rich Asian kids all over the place... Getting work done on my car, and I constantly see them pull up.. 18 - 20+ year olds driving AMGs, Porches, GTRs, etc.. Just dropping money like it was nothing...

But it all comes down to how you look at it... If you're purchasing just to please others then you will never be happy... Its like modding.. it never ends!

But if you get because you always wanted one, then like Alcheng said, it just feels nice to see your blood and sweat sitting on your drive way being all sexy that you wanna touch it, caress it, stare at it..... Uhm.. err.. I'm getting a little carried away.. But you know what I mean...

You never know that they got it through being spoiled. I'm young with money and people always assume my parents buy me everything, but I've been putting in 50-70 hours a week for a long *** time to get what I have and I go to school full-time as well. And most of the time when I come across another young person with a decent bank account, they have earned it just like I have.

Edit: That being said it can be aggravating when people with money abuse it just because they have it. I know one kid who goes to my school who was given an R8 by his dad. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, as it is his dad's money and he can do with it as he pleases. Do I agree with it? No, but I'm not going to try and tell him how to spend the money he worked for. What does piss me off is the fact that the kid parks in handicap spots at my school when the only open regular spots are in the back of the lot and he just takes the tickets and pays them because they are just a drop in the bucket compared to what his family has.

Edit two: Just read through the posts, I guess I am off-topic now lol. Well to get on topic, if you guys end up in the DFW area grab a sandwich at Great Outdoors. Their sandwiches are amazing, get a club or Outdoorsman and it is life-changing... really...
