I never said that. Receiving an allowance for work around the house is fine.
Cars and computers are a different story.
I didn't just get a computer out of no where. For the last time I have been saving up for this. He never just gave me this money out of the blue. Allowance, holidays, eBay.
The car is a given. I'm turning 16 and get a car.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

It is not a joke and I actally have a Pentium 2 433MHz that I have to use when someone kicks me off this Dell.
I understand what you're trying to say. But, do you honestly believe that you DESERVE something that you've really done little to earn? Those things are privileges.
You act like being given a very nice car is no big deal, not everybody is as lucky as you and it looks like you're taking it for granted. You are spoiled, a lot of kids are. But I think it would be helpful for you realize it.
It would only be unfair if you actually paid for the parts, instead of expecting everything to be given to you.
Well then what you guys are saying is no one really has any money. You're saying that me working around the house for Allowance is still not my money. I guess working wherever you work is considered not your money now is it?
Your parents gave you that money hence they can make you give it back even and they did not have to pay you to help around the house. (BTW My job is writting code in the summer at NASA when i not working my butt off in college) You should be happy you are even geting paid from your parents I was lucky to get $20 ever two weeks when I was your age.
There's a difference between getting paid by your parents and getting paid by a company or working for yourself.
Exactly how much money did you earn for this computer that wasn't from your parents, eBay or given to you as a gift?
Your boss gave you that money hence they can make you give it back even and they did not have to pay you to work.

You are a horrendously spoiled ignorant kid. Let me tell you why:
You're replacing a computer than is better than 95% of the population's with one that can be considered, at best, a decent, yet not spectacular, upgrade. This is just a sign of poor money management/overall stupidity.
Additionally, you're not even paying for this yourself. You are wasting your parents' money to gain very little. Also, just because your parents make a good amount of money doesn't mean you are entitled to waste it. Where did that idea possibly come from? Say it outloud to yourself, so you might hear how stupid it sounds. Also, you say you're paying for part of it yourself. Think back...have you ever worked a minute in your life? If not, then the money that you are using is not actually "yours." You have most likely gotten it indirectly from your parents (as in the picture you eBayed.)
On top of all that, your obsession with your future Escalade is just more of a sign of complete and utter spoiling. You most likely have no idea how much your dad had to do to buy that Escalade now. It's just another gift you think you "deserve" in your upper middle class suburban life. I hope, later on when you are out in the real world, you are unable to reach your parents at a time when you really need money, and then you come to the realization that you simply don't know how to make any for yourself, so you break down in the street and cry. Kids like you piss me off.
Just my 2 cents.
Edit: In the time it took me to type this, a few posts were made.
You say you have done work around the house? Please tell me what it was, because if it falls short of carpentry, electrician work, masonry or plumbing, you've pretty much done what most kids in the world have to do around the house. It's not called working, it's called helping around the house.

But on another notion, what happens if I make it big and they will need my money. I WILL CERTAINLY GIVE IT TO THEM NO MATTER MY FINACIAL STATUS.
worng once paid its for keeps in real world even if you are fired. Basicly right now you own nothing it all belongs to your parents.
Yes, but most likely they would need it for things like food, housing and medicine. You know, neccesities. Not toys.

Assuming your parents aren't idiots (which is something completely up in the air, but I suspect they're probably fairly intelligent to be making enough to spoil you like this) they are saving money for the future, so they won't need to rely on kids who can't deal with the real world because they "loved them too much."
Edit: I forgot to point out the obvious contradiction in what you said. In the first sentence you said:
Do you see how the two bold parts contradict each other? Nice one, jackass.
