My father has always had wealth, but Ive bought every single car since I was 16 without his help, I paid for my own college, and it taught me to appreciate all I have. When my kids are 16, Ill do the exact same thing.

Completely disagree.
To this day my parents
still spoil me.
Sure, I've bought and done things on my own (a home, my Z, vacations, etc.)
Do I not appreciate what I have? No, everything I have I appreciate and do my best to take care of. If/when I have kids, they will get everything (and more) that I received.
Sometimes I think I'm selfish/cheap when it comes to money, but it's more self preservation for things I want to do/have.
Of course I still ask for expensive stuff from my parents for Xmas/Birthday too.
