Your not going to land a job out of university right away which will let you live a wealthly life style, so when you already have it why go to school? to show your parents or friends that you have a degree?
you don't understand my rage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  | I know people with ferrari and M6 who goes to university. Rich people needs a future too  |

you don't understand my rage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | you see ubc kids driving high end cars because its their family car ...
just because the person drives it .. doesn't mean he or she bought it .. especially students
someone said it before .. if you are jealous that others are driving nicer cars then you .. and he or she is a student or u know that he or she can't afford it ... blame your parents :P

I wish I were powered by parents.
It's the kids that front like all their parents shit is their own (and they're better than you because of it) that ruin it for everyone.

May be a little off topic, but the best thing my parents ever gave me was to show me how to live with honesty and integrity. They were far from rich, but gave me stuff money could never buy. In my third year of university, my mom bought me a second hand '77 Civic from her savings. I really, really needed a car and she knew it would help me out. Going from my variuos jobs to get to school in decent time and whatnot was pretty important. I was so happy to get the Civic. I cherished it and looked after it like it was my child. My parents also helped with tuition, as I was going to be the first in my family's history to get a university diploma. I was not going to let them down.
I don't hate people who have it made. I envy them. No two ways about it. More power to them, I always say. The nice thing about being poor is, you learn the value of money and appreciate everything you have out of necessity. If I ever lost everything I have now, it's going to be a lot easier for me to deal with than if I were rich to begin with - wouldn't know how to deal with not having what you're used to.
If I were rich, I'd give my kids whatever it took to make them successful. So when I hear about "Powered by Parents", it doesn't bother me one bit, as I understand that it's a parents job to help their children out in any way possible. Spoiling them, of course, is not cool, but.........
Having said all that, my kids aren't spoiled, even though they think they are (kind of weird). I think my wife has done a good job raising them. Nothing in our family goes to waste. We live comfortably, but from day one they definitely appreciated everything and anything they got. Perhaps it's the stories we've told them about the struggles we had when we were kids. Who knows? I guess that makes me the happiest parent in the world. My children are very honest and have high moral standards. A heck of a lot more than me, that's for sure. I'm proud of them. Just thought I'd brag a bit about it here. LOL.
If a person with a high priced vehicle looked down on me for driving a POS car, I'd feel sorry for them. They obviously haven't got their head screwed on right. In the end, we all die. Whether it be from cancer, disease, or plain bad luck. Rich or not, it's how we lived our lives that will matter. I'd much rather die respected by friends as well as by total strangers for the positive things I've done than die a filthy rich bastard.
My biggest fear....... winning the lottery. I hope it doesn't corrupt me. I've never been rich, but I imagine it must be tough. Not knowing who’s a friend, who to trust, etc.
Anyway........... tonight is a very boring night for me. I'm rambling on and on and on. LOL.

JackyJai your a piece of shit.
Just b/c a persons parents cant buy them a luxury car does not mean they are lazy or dont work hard. Your commentary on this thread is possibly the most useless piece of shit I have read on all of revscene.

BTW, shenmecar, there's a reason I hang out here on RS. So many young people. I love reading the stuff in this part of RS. It keeps me in touch with the youth of today. It's not easy trying to get that from your own kids. It's kind of creepy when dad hangs out with you and your friends. LOL.
Revscene makes me feel young again in a weird kind of way. At times posting here makes me go back to the days I used to be a prankster in high school and I say dumb stuff.
My sig says it all.

'89blkcivic out | you're are correct.
Plus now we take into an account of their parents' financial history. Do you really expect a millionaire parent to buy a 80's Hyundai for his child who needs it because of the same reason as 89blkcivic?
I know a guy who drives a m3, and he is a UBC student of the same age as me. Obviously he did not buy the car himself, but after knowing him I understand why he needs a car to go to school. Now since he really needs a car for school, do you expect his parent to buy him a 89 civic? BTW, he cherishes his m3. Relatively speaking, his parents made the right choice of buying him a car at their financially stake rather than buying him a house next to UBC.
