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. |

I saved up for a year and a half to be able to afford my Z. Every hour I worked at my miserable job, meat department at Walmart went right to savings after I took care of my bills. I originally was planning on buying a c6 Vette, after I test drove a few my mind quickly changed. It has been about a year and a half since I signed the papers and took my Z home, I was 21 at the time.
After working hard and still saving every penny, I was able to purchase all of the mods in my sig by myself. I see a bunch of c6s everywhere in my town and still love the car, but I am ultimately happy I picked the Z. Driving from the dealership to my house knowing I did it all myself was the most rewarding feeling I have ever had.
