i never got this. if everyone was like this, nobody would give because everyone would be too proud to accept anything.
Now that's a sad world to live in.if someone wont accept my gifts, i certainly wont accept theirs.

I also don't know why this is news.
^I would rep you infinitely if I could.
There's more than one school of thought on this.
I understand your line of logic, but let me assure you if I am in the position to the buy the kid I don't have yet a car like that when he/she is 21... I absolutely will not do it.
You raise some valid points no doubt, but there is a line where excess truly becomes excess.
For what it's worth I grew up well, the difference is my father told me "you want it, you earn it". I have never found near the amount of gratification/value in things I have been given compared to what I get out of the things I earn. I had to be provided with the opportunity to earn it to know that. Like I said, different schools of thought.

For example many of my friends who are given their first cars....audis....bimmer...whatever, they don't care for them. I spend many hours a week making sure my car is perfect.

Meanwhile not too far away, another tycoon donates 75% of his money ($2B of personal assets) to, not his kid... but flood relief!
What a dilemma.
Gold key + Koenigsegg for my son's 22nd, or saving thousands of people?
