[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandparents gave both me and my sibling a car when we got our drivers licenses. My parents paid for car insurance and car maintenance until we finished college and got a full time job. This is normal and most students attending elite universities are given cars by their parents.

Same with my grandparents and my husband’s grandparents. Both gifted us used cars when we received our licenses. My husband’s was titled to him; mine was not. Insurance and fees were paid by our parents until we graduated college. The day after graduation, we each paid for our own insurance and taxes.

We don’t expect our kids to be gifted anything by our own parents. One graduated high school recently and got little gift cards from each set of grandparents. We make over 300k but swinging insurance and buying a third car even used is outside of our budget. Our kid is lucky enough to be attending college with us covering the difference between scholarships and cost of attendance. He can order the things I used to drive to Walmart for in college to be delivered so that’s that.[/quote]
