Um no, my dad will help me out. He's rich. He's giving me his Escalade when I turn 16. :D

Will you throw a tantrum if he tells you you'll have to wait until you're 17?

So then your dad will be getting your mom a camera.

Your dad has an Escalade, it's all making sense now.

I would sell that and get a good cheap reliable economy car and invest the rest in the Vanguard 500.

You do realise you're incredibly spoiled, right?

uncool - you should have waited till about Dec 15 first of all to order.. then you would have saved your mom cash since computer parts always get faster and cheaper..Also you would'nt be so impateint with the god box sitting under tree for a month +. Do your Mom a favor a STFU for now and act really suprised and happy on Christmas day.

I can see it now, you will barely go to your job, if you get one, and will eventually get fired or quit, go to college and join a frat only to get drunk all the time and drop out after a few years, let your Dad buy you a mansion all while looking down on and criticizing people like me.

I would be anxious, not pissed. If my mom paid a substantial amount like yours did, I would just be thankful and wait.

YOu say that now, I bet you would not have thought like that when you were 14.

13 that is.
That doesn't justify your being an ingrate.

Be careful he could be President one day...it's not like the guy in the WH ever had to work a day in his life either.

Hey OP, you live with mom <rent free I reckon> and she paid for the parts and then you complaining? What is wrong with young folks today?

Try to get a place by yourself and pay computer parts with your own money and come back and tell us how fair it is.

Well, from reading his posts, it looks like his parents don't care how spoiled he is. So, he's really doing nothing wrong in his or their eyes.
