[quote=Anonymous]I agree new wealth can be disorienting. I’ve gone through that experience.

Close friends should be able to discuss this. However, it should not monopolize the convo. That’s the issue here I think.

And having discussed the new wealth issues I was working with with a couple friends, mostly because I was trying to figure out how to manage hiring people to manage it etc, I quickly learned not to talk about it with close friends. Yes, you should be able to. But it’s not a good idea. They will resent you.

And I also think it’s possible op truly is realizing the negative side of wealth. My partner, having watched me deal with all the family dynamics involved in this inherited wealth, has said they are glad their family is just normal middle class - every family has enough money for itself and the parents can take care of themselves but there is not much of an inheritance to go around. He actually says he is grateful for that, having seen my family dynamics around wealth. I don’t agree with him. Yes the family dynamics have been hell, but I am glad to have the money and security. But I could see how op is having that reaction.[/quote]
