Profession: Son

Apparently somebody made an iPhone App which costs $1,000 and all it does is to reassure you that you are rich and you can show the app to your friends to show them that you are rich.

Who would fall for something like that? High School boys! Check out http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/08/high-school-stu.html to learn more about the app and the high school boy. The article asks "Where di he get his money from" and without any research I would guess from being a son of somebody who has $1,000 to blow.

To understand what is going on I will tell you about a guy I know. A normal student, standard stipend, but owning some Porsche Carrera -- which is a hand-down from his dad who just gave hime the car when he didn't need it any more. Well, when he married he got as a wedding gift a Prius because gas prices are not really encouraging commuting ina Carrera. What's this guys major source of income? Being a son -- and go over the campus I have never seen so many luxury cars...
