I don't agree with you on this one. It depends a lot on how they are raised, and what is expected. My daughter's tuition/room/board was around 30K/year (out-of-state, state school) and I paid the bill. She covered entertainment and sorority expenses. She knew that the gravy train would stop if she didn't perform. She got great grades, from those grades a great job, and is on the road to well deserved success. Relative to dreaming what one would do if they won the lottery, it is not such a bad thing unless someone dwells on this issue and spends the remainder of his/her life in this dream world. A few monents spent think about, or discussing what to do with a cash bonanza can be exhilarating for a short period. This house is just fine, but probably would build a new one, just because I could. Might buy that $90K Navistar International pickup truck and drive it with a fancy trailer and the antique tractors to a few shows. Probably buy some more farm ground as an investment to give to the kids. Might buy a $300K new combine and tractor, just to be like a BTO.
