[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents helped for our first car. First car, only. Parents said they would pay 1/2 and it was our choice. We could wait until we had saved a lot and get something nice, or save less to buy something not as nice.

I don't understand this -gifting- teenagers a car. I mean, if they need/want to go somewhere and it's convenient for you to let them drive one of the family cars, I see that. They ask. You say yes or no.

For them to own it? No, spoiled. Unless they paid a good portion of the cost.[/quote]

I’ve thought about this too, but things are different now than they were for us. Our kids have 10x the schedule we did - multiple sports, volunteering, other outside activities, school events, and social events on top of it, that we’ve been shuttling them to since 7th grade. The kid getting their license is now more about freedom for the parents than for the kids. The first car mindset gets shifted with this, so we are more prone to just get them a darn car and be done with being a chauffeur.[/quote]
