This. Heck, some rich parents make their kids get jobs and pay for their own stuff.

Nah, rich kids invent jobs instead of getting them. It's easier

It's more attitude than money amount. There was a family big-time into sugar cane out in the Glades that were LOADED. Tens of thousands of acres. The kids were started out at the bottom - loading docks, driving tractors, etc. - and weren't handed everything. Then there's kids in the gated communities whose families are worth fractions of the sugar families who are entitled, spoiled pricks.

My grandfather had a cane farm and he handed it down to two of my uncles (my dad is the only male in the very extended family not in the farming business). They are not close to the mega farm you describe, but they do pretty well for themselves, at least for what the lifestyle they lead. I have never seen more humble lifestyles. I have an uncle that can afford to buy a fishing boat cash, but will build the camp himself rather than pay unnecessary money. My Grandparents can loan out money for houses, yet my grandma will wash a Ziploc bag. I've heard people relate it to the fact that they grew up during the depression, but for the most part, they've handed the lifestyle down to their children and everyone seems to do well, even the one's who aren't breaking the bank with income.

Yep, Most of the wealthier kids I know have to work. People who own the company I work for, their own kids work while in college and all summer long. It's more than the money, it's establishing a behavioral pattern.

what about if the kid is in school, but his parents still pay for everything? friend of mine is 29, and his parents pay for everything, but he's in his last year of dental school.

Any kid who has a train you can ride on that runs through a room filled with arcade ganes
