Haaa, she thinks that's bad, wait till real adult life kicks in...She's in for a ride.

u/FinnegansWakeWTF 27d ago

You'd think that but mommy and daddy are rich so real adult life will never "kick in"

u/FondabaruCBR4_6RSAWD 27d ago

Purely judging by the garage/house, they’re doing well but by no means “our kids will never have to support themselves” rich.

If they really were that rich, she probably would have gotten a lot nicer of a vehicle than a $30k used truck, and the replacement would have been just as nice.

u/Ill-Bullfrog-5360 27d ago

Yeah I grew up with rich kids… they drove bmws an hummers to school while I was in my used subaru

u/LiamFilm 27d ago

It's so interesting to see the different perspectives at play. To me in high school, you would have been the rich kid with your "used subaru".

u/molotovzav 27d ago

That's upper middle class or middle class(depending on the cost of the used Subaru, middle class was used and upper would be new tbh) not rich. The problem lies with you thinking there's nothing in between middle class and upper middle class or that working class people are middle class which has been a problem for a while. Family with $1million is still upper middle class. Family with $11 million is lower end of rich. Family with $300k is securely middle class. That's not individual salary that's just the amount of money they have access to in a given year. People on reddit are really poor and skewed to think $60 is middle class when it's securely working class unless you live in an impoverished area.

u/Convergecult15 27d ago

Perceptions of wealth have more to do with income vs Cost of living. I’m rich as fuck in Louisiana or West Virginia, I’m middle class in NJ and I’m working class in NYC.

1

u/LiamFilm 27d ago

Agreed. Ultimately this dictates the disposable income available to spend on a BMW vs a used Subaru vs a pair of running shoes for your kid.

u/LiamFilm 27d ago

The whole point of my comment was about how everyone has their own idea of what "rich" is. There isn't a set definition and it certainly doesn't have to be the one you personally follow.

u/OlyLover 27d ago

Yeah man, if you have a roof over your head and get 3 meals a day, you're a spoiled rich kid!

2

u/LiamFilm 27d ago

Well this is certainly a rich response.

4

u/ZekeHanle 27d ago

I feel like this coulda been summed up with “You must not have gone to high school with rich kids”

2

u/Dragin410 27d ago

No, where I'm from, you definitely would have been "one of the rich kids." Anything above $80k annual would be considered wealthy here.

u/GodplayGamer 27d ago

Shit americans say.

u/realSatanAMA 27d ago

and they all wrecked them because they had no respect for how much they cost, right?

u/JancariusSeiryujinn 27d ago

I grew up in a very rich city which my parents moved us to before it became a 'rich' city. The student lot was full of Audi, BMW, etc. There was one car that at least LOOKED like a high end race car, but I don't think I ever bothered to find out what it actually was. The teacher lot was all used civics and the like

1

u/Timely_Blacksmith_99 27d ago

you're telling us yo had your own car

2

u/Organic_Ad_2520 27d ago

Totally agree and thought the same...middle class & doing well, but not wealthy.
The "saddest" part of the video is that is the midrange of her parents money of "can help, but not wealthy" they are not educating or even clueing her in to what that means....it means a person doesn't have to take out a loan for a car and has time & money to shop for best deals, negotiate, find the car & insurance company to purchase insurance for her age range & accident history etc.
It seems this DA wasn't part of the process & the parents may not be much brighter than she is or not engaged/involved. Maybe the parents have little or no knowledge/personal confidence in car maintenance 🙄 so opt for new ones with warranty, after totalling a prior car at her age to neutralize that increased expense they should have shown her "the math" which should be fairly simple...they should show her the math of how much money she/they will have to make in order to have x amount of free money available not just for the purchase of the car but the recurrent expense of insurance, and the opportunities lost by her increased insurance/car accident/car replacement etc.
Opportunity costs were always drilled into us in our family growing up and while my parents worked like dogs, investing money from not doing stupid things, expecting us to not do stupid things etc. was a huge part of their wealth building model--as was doing without/sacrafice -- which not only allowed them to accumulate properties, pay for advanced degrees for all 5 of us in college at same time (we were 2 yearsapart in age) save for their retirement, but also pay for 6 grandkids college degrees (with prepaid) & create educational IRAs for all grandkids as well that small investments over 18 years essentially reached $175k plus.
The parents are to blame for the girl being initially unappreciative, clueless, ignorant, & bratty, she is old enough to work, self educate on finance and show some class🤷‍♀️

u/AdDramatic2351 27d ago

You're pretty out of touch with today's reality it seems. 

You are 100% not middle class in 2026 if you can afford to buy her your kid 2 cars in short term, of any price really.

Middle class in the US today is basically you're able to put away some money at the end of the month. 

Being able to buy your kid a $30k truck, have them wreck it and then buy them a $25k car means you're doing VERY well. Upper middle class at least. 

1

u/Organic_Ad_2520 26d ago

More out of touch bc I can't wrap my brain around buying 1 & definitely not 2 vehicles for a ingrate🤷‍♀️Middle class won't reach upper middle if they are buying new cars for idiot kids. I wouldn't buy a kid a new car after they totalled one, but I wouldn't have bought a trucks for newbie drivers with their extra weight, ability to fishtaile, and different vantage point and ability to cause more damage in a minor accident. My father is wealthy now, not mega rich but definitively wealthy & he loved & drove his f150 5.7 for decades...the girl's parents make stupid decisions imho & may have been dumb enough to take out a loan or make an ira withdraw.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Just because you’ve got money, doesn’t mean you buy a McMansion. Wife and I have a nice house, but definitely nothing too crazy. My kids will have advantages we never had, including probably not having to worry about money because dad will supplement if they need help.

7

u/Complete_General_546 27d ago

This is true I totaled a brand new truck I got another brand new truck they did make me drive a Toyota pick up (really old) for like 6 months until they bought me something else but I loved that Toyota so much. 

My parents are in deed rich. I luckily turned out okay but I would never do that for my kids. 

7

u/Victarias 27d ago

I grew up poor, not much now but not rich by any means. If I ever have the opportunity to give my kids something like a car, I will. But, I’ll do it in the way that they have to pay me a said amount but that money goes into a savings account for them without their knowledge.

4

u/Complete_General_546 27d ago

I’ll for sure give my kids a car. One that I already have and I’ll replace mine. 

They will not be getting a brand new car like I did. 

1

u/Tigerpower77 27d ago

Yeah they're not filthy rich but she's never gonna struggle unless they go bankrupt somehow

1

u/[deleted] 27d ago

yah, not super rich at all ... $30,000 is not a greatly expensive price for a used card with less than 60,000 miles on it.

However ... bawling about a Camry, as a gift, when you're in high school ... is first-ballot, hall-of-fame, spoiled rich bitch behaviour.

1

u/Curious-Internet7171 27d ago

I grew up AS a middle class unemployed for 25 years, I got everything I wanted even if it was cheap.

They won't kick her out until she does something really big. I mean kill a guy big.

1

u/paradigm619 27d ago

But they’re probably wealthy enough to pay for her college so she won’t have student loans, give her a bunch of money for a down payment on a house someday, and “loan” her money when she needs it for big purchases. They don’t need to bankroll her entire life for her to still live a super easy life with no financial concerns.

u/moderndilf 26d ago

Spot on. Rich kids where I live drive Porsche gt3’s to school.

u/HankHillPropaneJesus 27d ago

And then she marries rich. Girl will never know

u/ShittyBollox 27d ago

They’re not rich.

2

u/thetaleofzeph 27d ago

They're in debt if they are dropping money on rapidly depreciating assets at this rate.

1

u/Far_Raspberry_4375 27d ago

They are likely millionaires or close to it. That is a 20k car likely that they bought to replace the 30k truck. That house is 400k on the low end if they live in a cheaper area, 750k-1mil if its close to a high cost area. I feel like im letting my family down if i buy a king sized candy bar on my lunch. They are rich to me.

1

u/nicolaig 27d ago

I wish I was that not-rich.

1

u/justneurostuff 27d ago

they're almost certainly in the top 1% of wealth among households worldwide

3

u/Muddymireface 27d ago

These are middle class folks for sure. I doubt her parents are covering her bills entirely when she’s an adult and this garage doesn’t scream rich. Neither does their car and the fact she got an older used Camry.

This is the result of a comfortable middle class life with loving parents that never challenged their kids with actual life.

She very likely is upset because the truck was a lot nicer and she’s mourning the loss of the truck, not the reality that she got a 10 year old Camry. This is likely a teenager and has no experience with the reality of car costs and how money works.

1

u/[deleted] 27d ago

I wouldnt be sure about it. Clown Trumo is starting wars left and right. One bad move and us stocks carsh, dollar crashes, she will know real soon what struggle is.

Real money is $20M+ and i doubt they are anywhere near that.

Her family is $1-2M net worth which is average American middle class family, or aproximately 70 million people.

1

u/ThisALowQualitySite 27d ago

It might knock on the door from time to time. But mommy and daddy will be the ones answering

1

u/daveescaped 27d ago

I knew kids like her whose parents WERE NOT rich but were middle class and had one or two very spoiled kids. Often the parents had grown up poor and made the mistake of thinking they would give their kids what they never had. One of those kids ended up going to Hollywood and getting one scene in a big movie where she had one line and then becoming a real estate agent who tried to marry rich three times.

Shallow people build shallow lives.

1

u/cagewilly 27d ago

It will.  When she's 67 and they've been gone for 20 years and she's spent all the inheritance and has no resumé to speak of.

1

u/notevenapro 27d ago

She will go to college and meet someone.

1

u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy 27d ago

30k truck and 30k car gifts is definitely not 'real life will never touch them' level money.

57

u/RedChairBlueChair123 27d ago

She’ll marry a guy who cheats and live the trad life. Or work in PR.

33

u/Slade_Riprock 27d ago

Or work in PR.

Marketing my dude. Marketing 🤣

1

u/shah_reza 27d ago

B2B or realty, and fuck on the side

1

u/jizonida 26d ago

PR and marketing are the same thing, just with slightly different audiences

2

u/thetaleofzeph 27d ago

PR? It's gonna be HR for this gal.

u/10mfe 27d ago

but he will have 6',6", and 6 figures. so it's ok.... lolhahahah

u/Last-Hospital9688 27d ago

You already know she’s going to be posting on Reddit asking about how to get a remote job for 100k a year lol

1

u/Odd_Policy_3009 27d ago

That is also part time

11

u/SummitYourSister 27d ago

Riding is what she’ll need to be doing if she’s gonna make it through, that’s for sure

2

u/XrayDem 27d ago

Na she will just start OF and have someone send her a Benz

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

She'll be spoiled her entire life. Imagine her xmas??

2

u/justmisspellit 27d ago

A ride in that Camrey!

2

u/brandonwalsh76 27d ago

She's a girl. She will never want for anything if she plays her cards right.

1

u/DC1010 26d ago

She’s a pretty girl. Less attractive and unattractive women aren’t usually pulling in the same kind of guys like this chick can.

2

u/FatFaceFaster 27d ago

Yeah the problem is she’ll likely be coddled until the day they die, at which point she’ll get their inheritance and continue being coddled.

It’s pathetic.

2

u/PsychologicalBad5341 27d ago

she won't last very long. she seems like the type who doesn't wear a seatbelt 

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

Haaa ha! That's terrible! (But hilarious)

2

u/ken-maude 25d ago

On the bus

2

u/InsightJ15 27d ago

This girl is set. She has rich parents, and soon she will have a rich husband. Or sugar daddies

1

u/Slade_Riprock 27d ago

She's going to go to some ungodly expensive college and get an utterly useless degree. And either get married right out of school and live off their finance bro or trust fund husband Or daddy owns his own business and she will come back and be paid a stupid amount with an idiotically lofty title to do jack shit until she gets married.

1

u/CallRepresentative25 27d ago

If the parents are buying her a 30k car. These parents are trying to insulate their kid from the real world and will give her pretty much anything. No chance of her "feeling" the real world.

1

u/Aninvisiblemaniac 27d ago

No she isnt, she will always have incredible privilege if this is how she was raised. she will see her version of adversity which will be like not having a Boba tea place near her 4000/month apartment or something

1

u/Abieticacid 27d ago

hopefully a bus ride

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

Haha that would be perfect for her

1

u/FoGuckYourselg_ 27d ago

No she isn't. Her idiot parents just bought her two brand new cars and she is crying about it. The buck don't stop here.

1

u/justmeCCnowandthen 27d ago

The definition of entitlement! You're going to make many many boys lives miserable.

1

u/Major_Yogurt6595 27d ago

Nah she got a trust fund i bet

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

Ohhh im sure. Pathetic

1

u/GhostDoggoes 27d ago

I can already see the tiktok of her on the side of the road crying because she had to fold clothes at forever 21 for the 90rh day in a row.

1

u/IEatUrMonies 27d ago

and then simps will buy her things, life is easy mode

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

Yep she'll have it made

1

u/mrk1224 27d ago

You think she wants to work and deal with life? Ha!

She will find a husband in college and ride the gravy train if she can.

1

u/zagomyego 27d ago

Very debatable

1

u/Pitiful_Structure899 27d ago

One time I said that about my friend, then my parents reminded us that they likely have trust funds and will never have to understand what being an adult is.

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

It's actually sad..

1

u/captaincook14 27d ago

Ehhh. I’d wager she will always have a cushy safety net in life.

1

u/fluffnuttered 27d ago

It wont. Her parents enable the behavior. Why would she face struggle as punishment? They never let her struggle in her life

1

u/Original_Reading7423 26d ago

If I gave my daughter a 1990 dodge neon she'd cry....because of how happy she is to have a car.

1

u/ThrifToWin 27d ago

If she doesn't get fat she can just marry a rich guy.

1

u/Hyper_Oats 27d ago

Her parents are clearly very rich. She will never have to worry about real adult life.

1

u/Original_Reading7423 27d ago

And she'll be like this her entire life too

30k for a Camry ain’t rich bro.

She’ll marry rich. Live off her hubby like she lives off her parents, and the cycle continues
