I'd love for someone to buy me a Lamborghini but it's gonna feel much better when I've earned enough and can afford to buy it myself.

If you've ever bought a house without someone else's help - it'll be a similar feeling accomplishment / self respect. No one "given" anything truly respects it or appreciates the path it took to get there.

But - anything is worth a try.

I still remember the day we drove by our house - saw the sold sign on the front lawn and the wife and I jumped out of the car to go take a selfie with it.
Clearly I am not talking about moral satisfaction
