"who cares, it's not my money!" Options

[jennyjenny]

I hate when people say that.

There are these guys and they think they're cool cause they hate these "preps" such as clothes like Abercrombie and stuff. They think it's stupid shopping there for clothes that "just come in different colors". So basically, they go to Hot Topic because they have "big pants, cd's, and band shirts". Pretty lame, huh. Hot Topics just as expensive.

But that's not the point.

So the other day they were all "Ew, Jenny, you're wearing a polo. My mom bought me like 4 polos a couple months ago and I burned them."

Now, it's not only him. I guess it's like 3 or 4 other people because they're so cool.

And I reply "You burn polos? Your mom has the heart to buy you clothes and you're wasting money by doing that?"

And he goes "WELL, IT'S NOT MY MONEY."


I wonder how many people say that, "Well it's not my money, it's my parents'."

That pisses me off so much. Who cares if it's not YOUR money, it's your parents' money and it's like the same thing. If your parents go broke and can't pay the bills, don't YOU have a part in that? Because YOU would be the one without a house, ALSO.

So my question is, how many people have heard people say that and how do you feel about that?

yeah, i agree, it is pretty stupid. someone asked me how much my insurance was and how much i spend on gas and then told them that i didnt pay for it and they thought i was the most spoiled kid in the world. yeah, my parents pay for my car and stuff, but it was only $1,300 and i have to get good grades and have a job in return. its not like my parents spend 1,000s of dollars on clothes for me a month. i barely get clothes, so i really wouldnt consider myself spoiled. i think its a lot less than other kids get.
