Those kids doesnt have any fault being born rich. Its their luck. and it will be in their hands how they will use that privilege. I think t will also be in the hands of the prents how they will raise those kids. As a child I wasnt deprived to have what I want too, but I get things as a reward for something I had done well, like a reward for a good grade at school. Nothing in this world is easy to achieve and a good life has a price.

Yes, of course the wise thing to do is to save your money for things in life that are really going to matter - how much better is it to have enough money to buy yourself a car one day rather than say a hundred cups of coffee on your tea breaks. the problem is that saving up a lot of money takes some serious self discipline - people want instant rewards and tend to not think too much about the future!

For me, if I want anything, I need to consider some things. First, can I afford it? Next, Will I really use it? And, is it worth the money? If I think it would be of great benefit but I don't have the money, I'll save for it. But even if I have nothing specific to buy, I still save. I save because money goes away easily. So if I have them, I try to manage it well that in times of need, I got something to get.

i think many live for the moment because it is easy. Quick gratification is what a lot of people are after whether they think so or not. A cup of coffee at a diner, a movie ticket, a lunch out, a new sweater, all these little things add up. But life is happening now if you don't appreciate the now you may never get to your ultimate goals.
So in retrospect I believe balance is best. Find small ways to treat yourself once in awhile but don't make it a habit. Pay into your bills and savings/retirement first then set aside some free spending money to do with what you want and you will get the best of both world security and fun. =)
