Many thanks for your article. It is little wonder why we as an organization, believe very much in equipping teens with personal finance and basic investment knowledge. Because once armed, teen go on in life to make better decisions.

Oh man isn't this like agnes lin part ii? Couldn't you guys have come with anything new??

And come on, there will always be people spending extravagantly, so I really think there's no point in complaining about how other people spend.

Their parents earn so much money, it's okay to spend lorz. It's not as if their parents are like taking multiple odd jobs to pay for their expenses.

In fact, we would need rich people like them to spend even more extravagantly to get the money flowing and the economy going again!!

Spend, man!!

I think there will always be place in the world for luxury spending. If they can afford it, why not huh.. If they cant afford it in the future when they’re living on their own paychecks. They’ll learn their lesson the hard way. Else they should by all means spend, within their (admittedly big) budgets.

I read your article and saw this at the endg:

"If you like this story, please consider making a donation to help further the Enquirer's cause."

Why not ask the rich kids featured and their parents to donate a fraction of their expenditure to The Enquirer? Maybe a $200 donation from each of them - probably the cost of a shoelace.

I am utterly disgusted at their blatant materialism, and the nonchalance these young people and their parents have for the value of money!
