Honestly, you learn to respect the value of money a whole lot more when your parents stop giving you high-prices gifts and you have to earn them yourself. And drankly if your 16 now I'd say that your parents are quite late at teaching you this. |
This is where I stand on the issue also. Considering you(the OP) had the desire to create a topic on this site asking us about this shows a lack of maturity in the first place. Why do you need to ask us whether we feel you're spoiled or not? Just asking the question shows you're probably being babied far too much at home.
You should be able to legally work by 16 no matter where you are, so unless your parents are gung ho about you putting full concentration into school, which would make the buying of three consoles within a year thing even more odd since it's very distracting, I don't see a reason why you aren't earning your own money at this point and paying for your own hobbies.
