I don't think I am. I only have like 15 shirts and 6 pairs of jeans. I don't really ask for things besides for school, but usually I end up paying for school supplies too.
ONLY? I only have like 8. I wear the same thing every week. I'm going through a major growth spurt.

If you get allowance from your parents, you aren't paying for anything! Your parents are

I know, but it's just funny how some people think that they are paying for their own stuff when really they are just spending their parents money.

I wouldn't call it funny. Moreso, idiotic. That's the only way I can put that. Selfish, maybe? I dunno. Lazy?
 
Nope I wouldn't consider myself spoiled. I do know that my family is well off though so I do have some nice things ... but I don't go on shopping sprees and get whatever I want for no reason.
 
In some ways? Probably. Certainly not with money or anything, though.

I get the feeling that a lot of the people at my school (private university) are, though.
 
Not really. I have to work for things I want but aren't needed (like CDs, posters, games).
 
i actually do think i am spoiled. i get like everything i want for nothing :/ i wish i had a job so i could pay for stuff myself, though... id feel much better about the stuff i have if i earned it myself
 
dang i must be spoiled. last time i counted my shirts i had like 82, and that was months ago. ive gotten alot more. but i only have like 6 pairs of jeans.
 
Well this thread got weird... necessities don't mean you are spoiled though... things above them do though, generally things above them quite a bit. Having just the necessities provided just means well you aren't worse off or anything, you're just not spoiled either. After all if you aren't getting the necessities I consider that kinda neglected.

Also air, shelter, water, and food are indeed necessities to continue living... in that order really. If you know of the rule of threes, 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. Shelter is a surprising one but think about it, you could freeze without it, you could sunburn and overheat without it, you could be eaten without it.

Now certainly someone who has these things is not considered spoiled, even if they were free/given, after all what about those kids in third world countries? Many are still afforded the luxury of being provided with this by their parents. Are they expected to help out eventually? Yes, but I am sure most people here have had to do chores at one time or another.

Spoiled is above and beyond the necessities, I normally consider it to include people who have confused a nonessential as essential. For me internet, I can't live without it :p

Actually you could be rich and still not considered spoiled, I'd say it depends on how selfless you are at important times.
