Hahaha. Story of my life as well boys. Why did you think I had to buy a house just to shut everyone up. "At last, you bought a house. Now you can stop spending on the car"...little do they know....

when my parents have a cry about spending money on cars (because they see it as awaste) I just say "would you rather me spend it on drugs?". Works everytime then i can freely go and buy something right infront of them

**plAythiNG** · 17-09-11, 08:41 PM

its actaully quite balanced poll . i didnt think it be that balanced. tbh i thought it more on the YES side.

its not fair they hav to compromise on black & gold toilet paper while u sit there deciding which jdm bling to get next!

thats how it was for me so i moved out and now i care

I suppose every family is different though, some parents may give a shit about it whilst others who see past the monetary value (usually rich parents) will try and support their kids as much as possible before they leave the nest.

I answered no, girlfriend is use to my money spending on hobbies. I've spent close to $50,000 on mountain bikes since I've met her, she's totally use to all these new packages arriving and me going for drives to pick things up. She's kinda cool about it too, she's always asking me what it's for, why I bought it and what kind of difference it will make - generally speaking she's quite interested in knowing about all the shiney new things. Apart from the coilovers, she hated them hahaha.

Parents on the other hand, since I've been outta home since I was 18 (25 years old now) I keep them in the dark about finances. Even though I'm financially independent it's easier to say nothing.

I do get it a bit from my parents, i just don't tell them what i buy

As long as i work hard and do well at uni then they generally let me do what i want, my gf is cool about it......mostly

You need to trade that one in guy! A woman that would take something you enjoy from you for the sake of saving some money is honestly not that interested in your happiness. If car purchases are really affecting your finances then it is fair for your significant other to comment, but if your are comfortable then it is pretty mean spirited for someone to tell you to give up something you enjoy because "it is a waste of money". Nearly everything in modern society is a waste of money, many people (I'm guessing most of this forum since we can at least afford internet access) live in a situation where they are free to spend money on whatever useless crap they want that isn't relevant to survival. Modified cars fit into this category.

P.S not having a go, or insinuating that you have less family values than any of us. Just find it funny!
