Yea, I hate movies like this. Typical snotty rich punk who think he can surf on his parents' dime. Has it all but acts like a whiney diva.

I know quite rich people, and they pay their kids their basic needs.

They still run in circles where the parents pamper their kids to the max, and when the family loses their money; those usually have a hard time adjusting to work for a living. Many of them rather choose either drugs - or even suicide.

So they know a truck load of ex-rich spoiled kids with insane stories.
One suspiciously drowned while wind-surfing in Thailand. He had one month rent left and never worked one day in his life. He simply didn't return from the sea.

And then they know a girl, who was jetting around the world and the bank crisis forced her to work. She is now, drumroll, a high class flight assistant serving champagne. She spends every cent to keep her good looks rolling.

If I had so much money, my kids would get nothing besides the survival minimum. A whiny, unexperienced kid is a complete failure parental wise.

I think that by her telling her son that she's used most of the money, and by truly letting him go, he knew he'd have to figure a lot out on his own. And by him going, he was willing to do just that.

I think the OP missed that part of the movie where Hunt's character said she blew a lot of "their" (again with them acting like a married couple) money in California.

He doesn't have a trust fund. His parents were working people. His mother spent a lot of her money that Summer and wouldn't be able to afford to put him through school since she was also fired. His father was going to have to chip in for school.
