Sup Jow Forums.
Do your friends dislike you because they haven’t lived a lucrative life like you? My friends resent me because of “my privilege” which in essence is just my working to earn money and then investing wisely. We all grew up with a relatively equal upbringing.
How do you cope with mad and jealous millennials?
are they jealous, or u are just a cunt?
I try to be humble, but I still buy nice things. They ask me how much I pay for stuff when I buy it and then proceed to look dejected after I tell them. It’s awkward but they instigate it all the time. I needed a new car so I bought a nice one, with cash- but I left that part out. I don’t think I’m being an asshole.
don't tell them retard pretend like you're in debt
sounds like you need new friends
It would probably be retarded for me to pretend like I’m in debt. I’d never tell them what my banking/portfolio looks like though. I never join in on the conversation when they talk about being underpaid and stuff tho- I don’t know how to contribute. It just seems like they make bad decisions. But I’d never say that to them, that would make me sound like a huge dick.
are these people your friends or just your coworkers
stop telling them what you spend on shit then say you don't want to say
It's lonely at the top
Isn't it socially unacceptable to ask how much someone paid for X or how much he's making?
People are naturally jealous of wealth even among friends. Why do u think rich people only hang out with other rich people.
Group of friends I’ve hung out with regularly for 10 years. It’s a bunch of couples, we all went to high school together.
Will probably do this to try to keep from pissing them off. Not trying to be Jow Forums here, but they’re all extremely leftwing, and I could give a shit about politics.
Honestly thinking this may be next, but it would probably suck.
you can ask how much someone paid for something if they're a decent friend. i wouldnt ask their salary tho
so how much $$ do you have saved up anyways
I don’t know if I’d agree that I’m on top. I earn an honest living but I’m not nearly as good as some of my buds at things they like. I’m pretty much only good at earning money. I’m not particularly charismatic, or good looking. But I don’t feel insecure, I just wish they didn’t hold my success against me.
Sorry for the blogposts
Stop worrying about it or friends in general. People who want to be around you and enjoy your company will gravitate to you. A lot of friends we had when we were younger are not the same ones we have when we are older. Like gfs. I've tried to help all my friends succeed and I grew up way more poor and from a broken family unlike pretty much everyone of my friends. They just are all materialistic and have dumb whores for wives or gfs that they spend way to much money on hoping that will make them stay. Rich people have friends, but they are usually partners
Since we’re anonymous, I’ve got close to $100k. I’m 28.
My friends are pretty open about having less than $500 in their bank account at all times, but I don’t participate in those conversations, I just kind of shut up when they go there.
that's a nice chunk of change for 28. i'm a bit older and my friends know i've got $$, but like to bust my chops for being so cheap with clothes, car and my home, all in good fun. no resentment happening i dont think.
That’s why I don’t see my friends sticking around. I don’t see much benefit in trying to offer them advice when they would just ignore it.
Materialism drives me a bit, because I want to have nice things and provide for my family, but I feel resented for even working hard to get where I am. I think my friends and I have fundamental different ways of thinking, and the rift between us is getting bigger.
Again, sorry for blog posting, Jow Forums has been my only refuge for 12 years now
If you're that good with money, maybe try and help them make money? They'd definitely love you for that.
That is not as easy as it sounds

People are people, if they have been for friends for that long, and they are not well off and bust his chops about it, chances are they will never have money and OP is pretty much sacrificing his time with them instead of improving his environment because of some weird guilt. I did the same for awhile
Its unfortunate to say, but you can outgrow people
Normally I’d say people change and drift apart, but it matters like finance and the iron law of compound interest, it is growth
No doubt it isn't, but user says he's been lurking here for 12 years, so might have as well told them about LINK or some other promising investment opportunity that he's surely invested in.
I assume he did. It doesn't matter if its friends, your family or even your wife. I tried to help my father, who never gave me a dime and abandoned me at 13 years old. The first little money he made from my advice he gambled it all away in casinos. My best friend for over 13 years, I helped him get started, his first money from crypto went straight to titty bars and cocaine and Disneyworld because thats what him and his whore do. I've helped other friends with saving money, only for them to waste it on eating out 4-5 times a week and weed habits. I'm more frugal than all of my friends, despite having more money. I only came into money 3 years ago, through crypto. My friends would eat out, go out, vacation, and spend more money than I do, and try to get me to go along, when I didnt they act like I'm a cheap asshole now because I dont want to waste my wealth. People that I used to be sort of friends with are now some of the people I associate with the most. Like minded interests make for great friends. I used to love titty bars and cocaine, but I care way more about my future. Other people are not worried about their futures and all their worries are in the now. But that's just my 2 sats
seems like you have the wrong friends. I have more than 300k at only 20 years old but I talked all friends/family even not real friends into buying Chainlink so they have 1k-20k Link stacks. They all respect and like me because I helped them. Some are a bit jealous but still happy I got them in early enough. Also a new cool car in cash is at least 40k so it was stupid from you to buy it in cash, leasing makes more sense if you have that much money.
I wagecucked as a line-cook in sweaty kitchens for nearly a decade. Now i day trade currency markets with an accuracy reflective of the years of study i put into while i was wagecucking. So, having gone from unironically living the literal NEET meme IRL to becoming independently and financially secure, i appreciate those who posses a strong work ethic. But i too wonder what some of my friends will say if they ever realize how quickly i can earn 500 to 1500 bucks in a few hours of trading.
Wow, it's TL;DR the thread
