So I just graduated from college and am moving to the other side of the country (from TN and moving to CA). My parents wanted me to have a reliable car that wouldn't give me too many problems (since I'm not making much money at all this upcoming year). Well, they weren't sure that the car they were going to give me would be reliable enough, so we went out and bought a nice, used Hyundai. It was about $8000, which doesn't seem like a lot to some people, but for me, it's a HUGE amount of money, and I feely guilty that they dropped that kind of money on me all at once. I couldn't afford to pay that on my own....they joke and tell me it's my graduation present. Still, I know kids whose parents buy them cars, and a lot of them are totally spoiled and have no concept of what real life is. I don't want to feel that way, but I honestly can't afford to pay my parents back. I just feel really guilty. Should I have just told them to give me our older car and save that money?
