Should I feel bad if my parents make money?

by Admin on March 9, 2010

I mean a lot. My mother bought me a nice gucci watch (00) and a pair of shoes(0). But I feel bad/shy wearing them in public. So is it my problem or their problem? I always feel I have to dress modestly and not be showy.
Or should I wear them with pride?

Everyone should have your problems. Never feel ashamed of your parents who are only trying to do the best for you.

Most people can’t tell $300 shoes from Payless shoes. If you don’t brag about the money your parents make or the cost of the items they buy you, few people would ever know.

Wear what you have and enjoy it…just don’t flaunt it or try to cause others to feel bad because they may not have expensive things. Just because something costs more, doesn’t always mean it’s ‘worth’ more.

It doesn’t sound like you’re cut from the same cloth as your parents, that’s all. It’s ok to not want to be showy, just don’t come across as ungrateful.

lol awww thats so nice to find modest girls these days.. dont feel guilty abotu it.. or if u do donate some money to local charities since they are hurting right now. its your choice but hell if i had them id be soo happy. if u dont liek gaudy things ask your parents to give u the cash instead… my hubby likes to treat me alot so instead of jewelry which he gave me i asked for books or money ( i donate alot of cahs to animals shelters and food banks… makes me feel good and does good for others. your parents love u and just ask for stuff u liek books, games, or things to make others happy. it always makes me feel better.

I am from a very poor family, and no matter what, i will always feel bad that people have better Material items than myself.
But those are gifts, and as long as your not bragging about it or flashing them out, or acting like your the shiiiit then theres really no problem in it. Just realize that a lot of people cant ever have these things. And you should appreciate what you have.

If you are uncomfortable with the things that your parents can afford to give you please thank them and ask them to put that money into bonds.

Build yourself a little nest egg. Give anonymously to your favorite charity or help someone less fortunate than yourself and be blessed.

Find peace in the things that are eternal and not temporal.

if your family has money then just be thankful… what ever they have and give you is because they worked for it and you earned it…
