If you give someone "free" money for the first time in their life, how can we expect them to know how to economize? All they see is an opportunity to buy something they couldn't afford.

Most have to wear $200 Nikes', Roc-A-Wear, BabyPhat, have grillz on their teeth and carry Louis Vuitton bags. My theory on this is by looking like they have money people treat them better (well it's either that or their extremely materialistic).I am in no way condoning the behavior (personally I don't get it). I am trying to see things from their point of view - why the purchase of a pricey handbag instead of groceries or rent.
