Okay, just because you were "babied" doesn't mean it's not time to grow up. You could go on for years "blaming" your parents for spoiling you but how much dignity and integrity are you willing to whitle away before standing up on your own two feet. I know that the prospect of being independent and caring for yourself is a daunting prospect for some people but you need to remember that not all learning will feel good in your gut. Sometimes you will be scared. It's okay to be scared. It's not okay to let that fear prevent you from ever trying.
This is one of the things that some parents do. It's a partial fear of empty nest syndrome. They'll get over it.
You don't need to go to a third world country to appreciate what you have. If you want to see how things are on the other side of the tracks then go volunteer in a Soup Kitchen. This will help things hit close to home as the impoverished won't be on the other side of the world to serve as examples. They'll be right where you live.
Discipline is hard but if you're going to develop any sense of responsibility then you have to work at it.
Good first step.

Do you know of any soup kitchens? The mustard seed? I think i will definitely look into it. I need it pretty bad right now. Anything to put a stop to this nonsense spending. My family never even know how much I spend on stuff, if they found out they would kill me.
The fact is, I need to be getting rid of stuff in my basement suite, not bringing in more (xbox) haha
Its too bad, I couldnt get rid of these glasses, if anything I suppose I could sell off my old frames.
And ya its not exactly the best feeling when uncles, aunts, cousins ask me "whats new" at the gatherings and Im just like..."uhhh...I bought this and bought that" lol. I dont say that, but...one of these days I would like to be saying "I just bought a new house"
