Well, technically, the basic definition for spoiled is having significantly more than you need. $30,000 is a lot to put into one thing outside of schooling for a kid (i.e. college). An automatic would bring it close to $30,880 (not including the extra cost for IOM), and then there's TTL, which usually amounts to another 10% (even more here in CA, where tax is 10%. ).

You're a little right though. Being spoiled certainly has a mentality to it. You can go around bragging and showing it off, or you can act nonchalant, but what that really reflects is how your parents raised you. Some parents don't do anything and their kids ends up like the former. Your parents taught you the importance of money, and you became the latter. While more respectable than the former, the latter is still (unfairly or not) associated with the term "spoiled" as a whole.
Am I calling you spoiled? Not in anyway. Now lucky... pretty much.
