Wow… My parents haven’t given me a gift since they gave me a 1990 Geo Storm (which valued at about $500) back when I turned 16 for a first car. Sometimes I wish many of you grew up in 2nd world Europe like me and vot/vovchandr (and maybe some others). You’d learn to appreciate stuff a LOT more. And my family wasn’t that poor actually (back home). We were pretty damn well off (hence our ability to move here legally). We still are. But back home both parents had good careers. We still own our home in Ukraine, which is pretty nice by most standards. But it’s not America. You should be happy to get $20 for Christmas, even more so when you get $350. > [@PaintBall Tournament - April 29](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/paintball-tournament-april-29/27106/23): > > Some greedy ass fucks in here. Be thankful for what you have, not what you think you should have. - f’in 1. By the way…I got a candy cane and a DKNY tie for work from my secret santa. That’s it. $20 limit. I’d LOVE to have $350. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-did-you-get-for-christmas-09/249297)._
