all i hear are two types of people, rich ass 12 year olds who's parents buy shit for them and older people who's parents don't support them anymore and who don't have the money to buy super expensive stuff.
what is everyones attitude towards teenagers who buy all their own stuff? I'm 16, and i go to private boarding school so everybody assumes i'm a rich ass prick who has everything he wants. Yes, my family is wealthier than most, yet our house is a little over the average size in an average income town, and the biggest way we've ever displayed our money is by getting a 17 foot boat last year. my parents pay for my education, but I buy ALL of my ski gear. my setup this year has been entirely bought by me, with money I earned over the summer working in a grocery store. with the exception of my new 2009 armada el reys, which my dad found for 300 bucks brand new and bought for me for christmas, i've bought everything i will wear on the hill. honestly, it wasn't that hard either.... i don't get why 15/16 year olds get their parents to buy them stuff, when working for the money and then getting your new saga or FD in the mail feels so much better. get a job, it's not the end of the world, it teaches you life skills and you make money. work your ass off and you can make 4 digits like i did in 2 months. i also don't understand the obsession with wondering what other people think of your setup. YOU should be the one who cares, not them. if YOU don't think you're good enough to get fulltilts, dont get them! don't ask us.
