I am by no means jealous of a kid for having a nice truck. Will I buy my sons a new truck and jack it up and put big tires with high dollar rims on it? No, but I will hopefully be able to get them something dependable and safe that they can be proud of. The great thing about America is that we all have told opportunity to decide what we want to do with our money and what makes us happy. From what I have seen personally the only issue that I have is that there are certain types of parents who get into a popularity contest amongst the other parents and live above there means so that others view them as cool and rich. I love where I live but around here that is part of the culture.
