Answer 1

..you do sound spoiled. And it sucks for you because when you get thrown into the real world as an adult, you'll know nothing about handling money and earning it..

Answer 2

Well, it really depends on how much your parents make. If your parents are very wealthy then $50 could be like $5 to an average person. And same for the $500 & getting whatever you want. If your parents aren't loaded with cash then you are obviously spoiled, but if you know they make a lot of money then it probably isn't that much. Not having any privileges is just normal for a parent to give a child. Maybe your parents give you no privileges because they give you all this money, or maybe you don't treat them with enough respect. Whatever the case is, they are your parents and you should be grateful no matter what.

Answer 3

I hate to admit this but you are. At least you get everything you want. Shouldn't all the money and gifts you get from your relatives make up for those privileges? If still want those privileges bad enough, talk to your parents. Tell them that you know the reason why they are spoiling you is because they love you. Then tell them that the ultimate way through which they can show their love is to give you these privileges. If they do give you your privileges, do whatever they say - curfews, limits and rules and all those other stuff. Don't mess it up or you might never get the chance again! I hope my advice helps you in a way. Good luck!

Answer 4

Not enough info. First, how old are you? What priveledges DO you have? You do get more money than most kids, but money doesn't ALWAYS mean you're spoiled.

Ex: (not to imply that your parents are like mine) my sister and I had horses when we were kids. We were in 4-H and rode in parades and went to horse shows etc..We had a nice house and our father made great money. To LOOK at it, you'd think we were spoiled, when in reality...we got $50 PER YEAR TO SPLIT for school clothes, we were not included in any family activities from age 12 on (including eating dinner with the rest of the family, and there were 4 kids in total...and no I'm not kidding) and were treated like just looking at us was a chore. People thought we were spoiled, too.

Answer 5

I think the deff. of spoiled isn't necessarily how much you get but how you present yourself. I know alot of people what have money like you do but you cant always tell. Staying yourself and not flaunting it around in other peoples faces isn't spoiled.
I think the people that try to fit it into every conversation somehow or make it a big deal and rub it in is spoiled. If your saving your money (which is a GREAT idea) and you are down to earth and don't flaunt it i don't thing that you are spoiled. So its all in the way that you carry yourself.

Answer 6

You get everything for doing nothing. That sounds like being spoiled to me. It isn't teaching you responsiblity or the value of a dollar. Sounds as though you already know this or you wouldn't be asking for other people's opinions. What you are saying brings on person to mind, Paris Hilton. (and that's not a good thing)

Answer 7

Yeah, you get money for nothing? That's kind of abnormal. Anyways, they do not give u any privleges? Well, that is unfair. Otherwise, I would talk to your parents about it... Hope this helped, if it didn't I am so sorry But you should feel so lucky your parents probably trust you with money! and I am sorry 2 say, that is considered spoiled. Srry! But: :-) :-) :-D:-D

Answer 8

Wait...are you complaining about your free money, or are you mad that you have no privileges? Your question sounds so....wrong! You don't work do you? Just wait until you have to work for a living! You have no idea what's in store for you. Sounds like you're living a life fit for a princess. There's lots of poverty in this world, have some respect.

Answer 9

Enjoy what you have look around you! You have $500 shopping spree when babies,children and adults die of hunger in countries like africa everyday now that is unfair.

Answer 10

You didn't mention anything about being a good person, so I'm guessing you are spoiled, but then again you didn't mention anything about being a B****, and you certainly didn't say anything about thinking your better than anyone else. So my answer is Yes AND No, you seem to be a good person, BUT you also seem to get everything you want, except for those privileges you want, something tells me you want to change.

Answer 11

Define your version of privlidge for me?

I think you should explain to your parents that you should do something around the house if you feel guilty for not deserving it.Like I can understand getting good grades or cleaning,but getting it for no reason is kind of unfair from my point of view.
