Son is 16, best friend is 17, they go to the same high school. Best friend’s family’s wealthy. He bought son a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max & a pair of AirPods Pro 2, so they can “match”. Son’s obviously very happy, but I think it’s a bit too much. I called the parents and they said it’s fine, it’s just pocket change.
When i was maybe 11, couldn’t go on a class field trip because my family couldn’t afford it.
My friend group got the money together so i could join them.
I still wasnt allowed to go on the trip because what i learned late was embarrassment that my family could afford it.
It was less than 50$
I’m still salty about that
