[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would 100 percent buy my child a nice home if I could.  Who wouldn't want to create intergenerational wealth for their child or grandchild.

[b]What I find bizzare, however, are people who lead others to believe they are Neiman Marcus achievers when really they earn a Macy's living and got an inheritance or financial help from parents or whatever. [/b] Or they behave same but instead of money from parents, they consume as much free stuff as possible and sell lots of used items for under $10 for cash on FB.[/quote]

Yeah I have known lots of people like this. They don’t really let anyone know about the hundreds of thousands of dollars they get from their family. Instead they represent themselves as great financial successes. [/quote]

When you guys say these people represent themselves in a certain way, what do you mean? Like how does it even come up? [/quote]

In my opinion, if you celebrate your expensive homes and vacations irl and online, but you don’t acknowledge that you really didn’t pay for those things, then you’re misrepresenting your circumstances in a self-serving way that’s harmful to others. It’s kinda similar to women online who post beauty pics of themselves but pretend they never had plastic surgery. [/quote]

So when someone posts a picture of their family and says, "We had a great time skiing in Aspen!" you think they are obligated to say, each and every time, "Thanks to my parents for footing the bill!"

That's pretty absurd.

Also, "harmful to others?"  How?  [/quote]
