[quote=Anonymous]My only gripe is that you are basically setting them up for some kind of let down in their 20s. If you are a teen or college aged person and you have $500 handbags, $400 boots, $40K car etc, at some point you are going to have an entry level job, and unless you are in certain fields, rent and expenses and savings won;t allow for this lifestyle of "stuff", so your kid is going to react to that- some might be of the mind "oh well, I'll get a $80 bag at marshall's so I can go out with friends this month on the weekends" and some might feel overly sensitive and entitled. I guess I think nothing bad comes from increasing nice stuff as you go. Presumably, your kids already have a lifestyle that will take a hit when you aren't paying the bills (vacations. flights, etc)[/quote]
