[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do parents really pay for car, gas, insurance, clothes, weekend dates, outings with friends, etc...? I can't imagine a 16-18yr old wanting Mommy to pay for everything. How embarrassing. Do girlfriend and boyfriends get each other gifts with parents money. What about Christmas? Do you ask your Mom for money to get her a gift? lol. Lame. [/quote] My parents paid for the car and the insurance (at long as I kept my grades up to qualify for the good student discount). They bought basic clothes. But I paid for gas, any other clothes I wanted, and fun stuff with friends. I also got good grades and was active in extracurriculars. Having a job taught me some important life skills--one of which was that having your own money that you don't have to account for because you earned it is awesome. [/quote]
