News / Effin' Lists Atlanta lands another pointless top 10 listing, this time for raising a bunch of brats

Atlanta has landed yet another spot near the top of a notoriously pointless Top 10 list. This time, the city earned the rep of having some of the most spoiled kids in America.
The relatively un-scientific survey from Bundle.com bases its results on the amount of money parents spend on their kids - from diapers to toys to just about anything. It doesn't, however, provide much of a gauge of how whining or obnoxious the kids actually are.
Using those metrics it's no surprise that New York topped the list. After all, the city averages a private school tuition rate that rivals many Ivy League schools and is home to more millionaires than jelly beans you can fit in a jar.
If all this jibe is indeed true, it looks like Atlanta parents are more well-to-do than those in Los Angeles, but only about half as wealthy as 'rents hailing from Tulsa, Okla.
OK, we're calling bullshit, but if you really want to know - Madison, Wis. Came in last, ranking 58 percent below the national average held by Nashville.
