How stupid is it to be showing off items such as corvettes and boats if you don't even own them? That 200,000 debt has to come back to bite this brat eventually. Credit cards and such have made it all too easy for the immature and irresponsible to acquire items that they are unable to pay for.  How sad that this person has the need to brag and show off (at a very high price too).  As the above poster said, it is most likely attention tha he craves, leading me to agree with the poster that this guy probably is trying to fill a void inside himself.

On to Auntie the Spoiler.....what values is she teaching this little girl by showering her with such materialism?  I've got to say, I find it irritating to see mothers in the stores buying their bratty ten year olds Coach handbags and other designer items.  The scenario is usually the same; the brat is pouty and whining, the mother buys the bag, the brat doesn't say "thank you" because, after all, she is ENTITLED to the bag. My feelings on that.....children should wait until they can EARN something like that before owning it, so they can realize just how much the cost is.   Now I am anxiously awaiting to hear from all the Moms who are going to disagree with me on that...how can they say "no" to their children??  What a crime that would be! Especially if "everyone else has one!"  Then Little Miss Pouty must have one to to be "in"!  The last laugh will be on these parents.  They will have to live with their spoiled, unappreciative sassy brats and continue to run the gravy train, each time they are faced with more manipulative whining. I bet there will be quite an extended adolescence for these kids too, so parents be prepared to support your frivolous kids for many years to come.
