[quote=Anonymous]Not the PP, but I know many people who INSIST on brand names and put down or mock less pricey names.  They are the first to complain about money AND the first to be entitled.  They don't have enough money to be making the choices they do, but they insist, even if it means borrowing money from elderly relatives.  Yes, they also feel entitled to their elderly relatives money (who by the way, are not rich).  That is NOT what I want to teach my children, personally.

I also know people who were raised with great things (not just nice but great), who insist on scrimping and saving.  Not because they have to, but because they want to teach their children that all important lesson.  I suppose they want to make sure they have enough for their college educations, as the handouts inevitably do not last forever.  While some people may try to work the system, I would not want to be there when the system says "no way, not this time" and they are inevitably left behind because a name brand was more important to them.
