So my family has two houses one is a solar house and one is in a small town. The one in town is close to where my dad works and before he was driving 2 1/2 hour to work, he is a doctor. I have traveled international before and I have gone to 3 summer camps each duration being a month. My parents recently had me go to the middle east, and I got to experience it. They paid for the trip and basically had to force me to go cause I wanted to work on my school work and start getting college credits. I do realize that I am privileged but I don’t flaunt it to people at school, and I don’t let people who brag get the better of me. We also have 5 cars but only 4 are used cause one is a old old truck. I just let it be, I am just wondering if you think that I am extremely spoiled or I am just well off. I am aware of the world poverty and I know that people are struggling.
Everyone asks this and I was just wondering what people think.

They also bough me a car which I am really grateful.

My dad wanted to buy me a cargo container for my car but I don’t need one
I am trying to used my families old bike and ski racks so I am wanting a trailer hitch So I can reuse them. I shop for deals, I go to steapandcheap, and I look for coupons when I shop.
Things I have done for others
donated dollars to Hattie
donated dollars to the Tornados
and Have also donated money to the heifer project.
I am also starting a solar cooking club at college this fall and want to make money over the summer.
I am 18 and over the years I have bough this stuff, I think my purchases very seriously.
Also I know that in the future I have to support myself so I am putting 500 aside each year I work to help pay for my next car, and I am working each summer now and trying to make around 2,500 or more.
Many of the things I Have I will used for the rest of my life.
Another thought, my parents bought me new ski clothes and we were going to get them from sport authority but then I thought to look on line and found the discontinued same jacket and the pants for the same price of the jacket at sports authority. I do try and save my parents money.
