We'll get my oldest daughter a car. She's very responsible. That said, getting a car was a fun disaster for me personally.

if i had 1 kid, i'd prob make a decision based on how responsible and mature the kid is.

with multiple kids, you have to be consistent and fair. i'm leaning toward give them a car to use or help them with the purchase of a car like match whatever their contribution is.

My parents bought me a car despite the fact that i was immature and irresponsible. I didn't appreciate it or take care of it well.

i had to save up and buy a car. i bought a shitty old volvo for 1K and it broke down all the time in inconvenient places. i would buy my kids a more reliable car.

kids need that shitty car to learn what breaks and why and how to fix/prevent it as well as to realize how expensive it is if you dont maintain/watch ur car properly for signs

it's such a ridiculous unbelievable comment.

what 17 year old who has to buy a car himself is buying a volvo? what does he even get out of making up such a pointless story?

when you dont have money you buy whatever is available. an attorney was advertising the car on the side of the road, called him up and bought it. you're spiraling snoot, your hatred of me is making you irrational.

Scum make them buy their own car to build CHARACTER. Scumbags have anachronistic ideas about everything like it's 1980 and you can get a shitbox for $50 and it's nbd.

Preps are already thinking about OCI before the kid is old enough for a learner's permit. that's the difference.

My poor ass parents told each of us they’d contribute $2.5k towards a car, we could supplement that with our own money if we chose. Probably 6k in 2024 funny money. Thought it was cr. It forced me to research cars and the buying process, information that is still largely valid even today.

Worst thing you can do is get them a new car imo.
