Make it obvious too and be consistent. That's something I would do. Begin every new subject change with  "other than how you are spending money what else is going on in your life?" [/quote]

This is funny. I am the OP, and maybe we will try that next time. As for some of the other comments:

Why are we friends with them? We've been friends for a long time, since college. Way before either of us had any sort of financial success.

My sheltered life and helping the homeless - My life is just as sheltered as any other person in the US who doesn't live paycheck to paycheck, but that's not really relevant to the question.

Are they actually mentioning the cost of items - Yes, they are. That's what is so irritating really. I don't know anyone else who tells me how much they spent on their car, their home improvements, etc. (Unless they're bragging about a good deal) These people mention ridiculous amounts to show how much they can afford I guess.

You are jealous - No, actually I'm not. I can afford to spend money, but the difference is I don't share everything with my friends and post it to facebook about how much my imported Italian marble fireplace tiles cost and how awesome they are. Yes, this is a real example.
