[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your choice is to let it roll off your back or ditch them. You clearly are not able to just ignore and move on, letting your history with them be the thing you focus on, so just get out.

I mean really. It may be slightly obnoxious, but how harmful is it really the way they talk? Examine your own  responses. And DON'T pull the "I grew up poor"  stuff. Lots of us did. In my own hosuehold, my DH is extravagant because of how he grew up. I am more frugal. Neither one of us is "better." It's just our own reactions. I roll my eyes and move on when people "brag."

Why not start with yourself?[/quote]

It's true that OP seems to be judging them a bit and allowing her upbringing to influence her.

However, I also understand how annoying it is when people constantly talk about money.  My husband does this a lot and it's infuriating.  I'm not sure why.  If he's insecure, doesn't get that people aren't interested in the cost of something, etc ?   It's almost like he can't help himself.  It would probably help if someone besides me called him out on it!  [/quote]
