Buying Car As A Gift For Your Children, Right Or Wrong? by pafestula(m): 9:03am On Jul 02, 2013 |
Buying car as a gift for child or children, some people sees it as wrong moves and way of destroying their future or career, while some does not even attached any meanings to it. I don't want to sound sentimental here, as for me, if u are able to afford it for your children, I don't see such portraying any harms, some wealthy people still condemned the act, please matured response on Nairaland is seriously needed on this issue if the act is on point or off point, or when buying it, must it be lower cost of car or the act is totally off point? . Thanks |

To some parents, buying a car for their child is not a big deal. To some, it is. I think it depends on the reason and purpose of the car. Some parents see it as a necessity to ease the burden of public transportation. My first car was a gift from my dad. 1 Like |

If the child deserves it then its not wrong. Deserves it in the sense that it is needed and it's a reward for an achievement. 6 Likes |

How old are the children in question? What level of education have they attained? How responsible are they? 9 Likes |

If your child needs a car and you can afford to buy one for him/her there is no reason why you cannot. What else are you storing the cash for? To spend in heaven? If that child falls down from an okada or gets robbed in a bus, then you start praying. I wouldn't buy a brand new car for a 17 year old though! 1 Like |

Thanks Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. If one can afford it - why not? I so much want my kids to have the best life has to offer - though that's not to say I intend to spoil them. I have seen poor people kids incredibly spoilt like you wouldn't believe. And really, it's not the things a person has that spoils them. It's all within. 1 Like |

Wif dat u can relax n watch dem grow more stronger...Bro age and location is important before taking your stand.If you live in a city with poor transport system like Houston in Texas you will know it is necessary unless you want to keep being your kids Chauffeur after they graduate from High school. 1 Like |

Depends on location, age and maturity level. In Nigeria, I'm not buying a car for you if your mates dont have cars. My opinion. It is odikwa risky to stand out in Nigeria In America, no big deal - you are getting a car in your last year of high school - if I can afford it - especially when you live in a city like Houston as someone mentioned earlier..you need a car to move around. Cars are no luxury here - my first car here was a decent toyota '88 model (pure water) for $420. Again, my opinion AT THIS TIME..meaning it could change. Your call as a parent. The will always be consequences (good ro bad) so be ready to deal with them |
