Do you:
( ) shop for non-needed items for yourself (like clothes, jewelry, electronics) at least once a week

( ) have a Sweet 16 birthday party thrown for you (HA! That was the year I had 5 leftover brownies from a church bake sale for my cake)



Oh, 16.5. I am a little spoiled.

I would be happy with that, not spoilt and a long way from deprived.

Yeah, it seems a nice middle ground.

I scored way higher than I imagined, I feel I was way deprived and for a kid who was expected to die I should have had everything!

I got 19... not TOO spoiled.

I got 13 of them. However, for the travel questions - I've been to Europe multiple times, and while I haven't been ON the Eiffel Tower, I've been under it. And I've travelled around Canada and to the US several times too. So that might up my 'spoiled' score, though I feel travelling is one of the best things you can do with your money.
