I was going to say the exact same thing.

#17 Maybe, instead of making assumptions about the OP, you should give her the benefit of the doubt; she could have a JOB and she is spending her hard-earned money on her parents' gift. Just because someone has means to be generous, does not mean she is spoiled. Never assume (you know the saying) PS I love your "perspective" suggestions. Backpacking through Europe is for rich kids. (It costs way more than $400!) Get off your high horse.

ANNDD for some reason you think this is a FML WHYY??? Because OBVVVViously if you have enough money to spend $400 on an ANNIVERSARY gift then you're spoiled enough to think that something this trivial is an FML. First off, this is an FML because her mom is being bitchy at her own daughter, who is willing to spend a few hundred for an occasion she's not really even involved in, an dmight be regretting getting her mom the gift. What if her mom is then bitchy ecause it's late or something? It sucks, therefore, FML. And just because you have $400 means you'e spoiled? In what world is that true? She is an adult woman, I'll think by the sound of it, so she will obviously have a job to be able to support herself. She also obviously cares about her parents to spend $400, and the fact her mom is acting rude doesn't make this trivial. And just another point, I have over $700, am owed a few hundred more by my parents, and a $200 savings bond. I am NOT spoiled. I worked for every bit of my money, and have actually spent over $200 on single people. Spoiled point fail.

Ugh! I hate people like you, who hate well-off people just because you're jealous. Trust me, it couldn't be more obvious. Just because someone has money (and, by the way, any responsible adult will have $400), does NOT mean they're spoiled. You know, SOME people actually WORK for their money. What a novel concept! And yes, other people are born into rich families, but is that any reason to hate them? It takes a lot of money management and planning to actually keep money in the family, and on top of that, every single rich kid I have ever known, has gone on several mission trips and they all have families who are involved in charity work. Having money does not make you spoiled. Being generous with your parents who brought you into this world and raised you (and probably paid for your college education) certainly makes you the opposite of spoiled in my book. Stop acting like an idiot. Clearly, you don't have $400 (which is your own fault), and are jealous. That's the ONLY reason to act like the way you are. If you want some money, work harder! I can't tell you how many supposedly *rich, spoiled people* are self-made.

The peace corp and backpacking through Europe are the "real world", WHATEVER!

Wow, bitchy much?

I believe you are.
