[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've found that most people will do this when they come into money. It's a natural reaction to enjoying something you've never had before. Many will come back to reality after a few years, some will not. Time will tell which category these friends fall into. For now, be happy for their new found success and remember money is still a shiny new toy for them at the moment.[/quote]

I think it has to do with this as well.  I have one friend who is like this. She grew up poor while I grew up upper middle class and still am.  A lot of what I had growing up and took for granted I realize she never had and it's all new to her.  For example, she mentioned going to buy a particular item for the holidays but she mentioned the brand name and store where purchasing.  To me, what she said was a given, as in of course I would buy such a brand and go to that store so I would never think of mentioning either.  But it's new to her and it's like she wants me to know that she is now on equal footing.  [/quote]
