My philosophy is this.
Come easy, go easy. Or as others say, "Easy Come, Easy go". When you have to bust your ass and finally get something you've worked hard for, you'll appreciate it a hell of a lot more. Be that a new car, watch or house or a business.
When something is just handed over to you, it has no emotional, vested value.
Don't want to get into politics, but the same thing goes for people who want college FREE. Do you honestly think they would appreciate that diploma more than a guy/gal, that had to work a part-time job during the school year and save up all his money from a full-time job in the summer? I don't think so. (That said, I do think the price of an education is astronomical and the reason for that is quite a few things. One of which is tenure. But I won't even go there. Other than to say it's just a rip-off and a racket and post-school could be a HELL of a lot cheaper).
Same with lotto winners and all sorts of sports stars. Doesn't matter if they made $110 million plus during their career. A lot of them are flat broke as soon as they leave the league. The money came too easy and they didn't appreciate what they had.
So if someone has worked his butt off and worked smart as well, there's nothing wrong if they want a few nice things. You do you and I'll do me
