Well, for a house you pay 10% one time, then pay it off every month, and it comes out to about 1,400-2,000 a month for a decent house. But now you are building property equity, have a house for your inheritance, don't have to worry about a sudden spike in real estate, and don't have to worry about all the restrictions that come with living in an apartment. I think I'll take my shot at saving 50,000 for that down payment.

On my 18th birthday, my parents took me out for dinner at Applebee's. My girlfriend came with us along with my 19 year old brother and 15 year old sister.
After we ate my parents pulled out a large gift wrapped box that I quickly opened. It was a bowling ball and bag. I wasn't SUPER into bowling at the time but I had borrowing my mom's car to go out with friends to bowl just to hang out, so it was a thoughtful gift.
They paid the bill and we walked out to the parking lot where my dad hands my brother the car keys and asked him to drive home cuz he was "tired".
The keys were different, and when he pressed the unlock button, the lights of a brand new pickup truck lit up.
Jon was holding the keys a little confused, dad was grinning, I was holding a dumb fuck bowling ball trying to understand why my dad gave my brother a new car on my birthday in front of my girlfriend.

Yeah it seems some people don't understand parenting doesn't end after 18 years. When you decide to create new life it is your responsibility to ensure your children succeed. For some people they only need 16 years and for others they need 30 or more. People should understand this before deciding to have children.

I feel bad for all the children that got treated out there poorly. Interestingly enough my parents treated the eldest the worst, the middle well, the youngest the best. I was the eldest. Black sheep / outcast T-T

I'm the oldest and it never bothered me when my younger sibling got like $300 cash for Christmas every year and I got a $25 dunkin gift card. A bit annoying but its not like I wanted to use the cash on anything. I was very much content with my laptop and never asked for anything, but when I did ask for something, I got it. My parents actually thought something was wrong with me for the longest time because i never asked them for anything unlike the little bro(i didn't even ask for birthday or Christmas presents) I just never cared and I think that bothered them, so when I wanted something, they had to show me who's boss by getting it for me.

As the eldest of 4 siblings, my parents were dirt poor coming up and my birthday gift each year consisted of ordering pizza on occasion. I’m glad today we ain’t in the same place and I can pitch in for my younger siblings’ gift. It can be tough to look back at what you couldn’t have been but I’m glad we’re in a better place.

The lesson here is to kill off the competition before all the money gets used.
