As much as I may be tempted to spoil my own child, the most she will get from me until she can make her own money are the basics (i.e. clothes, tv, radio, ~$2500 beater automobile).
wtf? i hope you are not aiming this towards my brother and i.. Cuz if you are, you are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off..
The only way it would be aimed at you is if your parents or other family members are buying you very expensive automobiles and/or other goodies.
Since I do not know about you or your brother's circumstances I can not say if this statement applies to either of you.
I know a lot of people have accused you of pissing away money but I have never bothered to inquire about where you get it all.
I would imagine that if your S4 is on a 5 year payment plan it would set you back about $1K a month after insurance and that is a lot of money for a college student. Perhaps you have some great part time job I don't know about but I would have to assume that its your parents paying for your very nice automobile.
I know you are a nice guy and all so if your parents are giving you a vehicle like that its more of a statement about them and not you.
How many kids would refuse a nice $40K+ vehicle if their parents tried to give them one anyways.
