[quote=Anonymous]I have a close friend who I’ve known since we were both broke and she made it very big. At one point she moved to my city and neighborhood. Her job was very social and she became social in a way she hadn’t in her regular life and basically dropped all of her old friends to make time for big group socializing with her colleagues/peers/similarly rich friends.

Although we lived in the same general neighborhood, it had normal vs fancy areas. People I’d never interacted with from the fancy side came out of the woodwork to be her friend and that became her circle. Rich and powerful people have a way of finding each other.

I guess if you want to stay true to who you are now, be careful about getting sucked into socializing/spending that takes you away from that. Or find a way to expand your life without cutting off old parts of it?

I don’t know if it’s totally possible. My friend went from group share house trips to traveling by PJ to private resorts. Even if I could afford to go, these aren’t places that take bookings from the general public. She wasn’t interested in hanging out in the way we used to and I didn’t full blame her because her new life was very appealing and she had worked hard for it.

If you genuinely want to stay humble, you’ll have to make tradeoffs between your old life and your new one.[/quote]
