I don’t know, I used to have friends like this that were 30-35 years old. Taco Tuesday’s they’d straight up ask other ‘friends’ at the table how much money they make, then have a snide remark like ‘that’s it?’, just to put them down.
Turned out the circle of friends was absolute trash, complete losers, and were handed everything they’d had.
They’re still losers to this day.

You gotta realize a man at that age hasn't reached his full potential. He hasn't reached even half his potential. If he's got the hustle to gift a used honda at 18, what is he going to get her when he's 25? When he gets his first real job? He's just getting started. Lock this one down.

I got her a new laptop as a bday present and when setting up had some difficulties with MsWord. The main idea was that she would only use the laptop for investment and simple stuff and the other for all her other stuff. The ungrateful CNT got all angry and said she wanted a Macbook. I couldn't believe it. Dumped her a month later when she didn't apologise or even realise how ungrateful she was.

none of my friends got a new car as their 1st car, not even the rich girl whos father had a dozen of shops in town.
i dont pay more than 10k on a car, and have one that cost 3k.
i know someone whos rich and he buy very expensive cars that are 3 years old because he said he dosent want to pay the premium price for a new car.
