I feel like it’s foul to raise your kids in a 10 Bedroom Mansion for two decades then tell them to get it out the mud after that. You ruined them for life. I wouldn’t just hand them money. They’d be expected to go to college, become successful (e.g. finance, law, medical school, engineering, business owner, etc.), I’d try to help guide them into lucrative positions and most of the money I directly gave them would be tied up in trusts so they couldn’t fukk it up and blow it all but they’d definitely get money from me.
I agree. If I'm a millionaire I don't need to flex. Especially in a world where wealth inequality is at gilded age levels. People are really turning on the rich and its turning into actual blood lust. A 4 bedroom house with two baths with a basement suite and a guest room is enough. My kids don't need toy rooms and 50 inch flat screen TVs in their rooms. They don't need to be sporting supreme and exclusive yeezys or Jordan's. They don't all need the latest iPad and laptops worth over 2k. They don't need unlimited phone plans at 100 dollars a month and all this shyt.

I see rich kids who are under 17 pushing rolls royces and Maybach and I just shake my head. You're setting those kids up for failure since they don't know the value of these things. They don't know how much it costs truly and how lucky they actually are.

Shaq just be talking. Half the time his stories are exaggerations or flat out lies.

Harsh or no?


:stopitslime: I think it's corny. Don't have kids if they're just supposed to be like everyone else to you. They didn't ask to be born, so your ass is responsible for them. Stop busting nuts if you want to leave all your money to the government or corrupt charities.

Agreed. One of my nephew’s best friends had a Bentley in high school. I thought it was absolutely irresponsible for that kid’s dad to buy his son that. Had it been me, he would’ve got a Ford Focus :mjlol: and that would’ve been it. If I had it like Shaq, I’d give my kids the world but I’d make sure they were spoiled either. You just can’t go overboard in making sure they’re not spoiled because the point of getting wealth is to set up your kids. Gotta strike that careful balance.
