[quote=Anonymous]I have super-rich friends. Think Tech and Hedge-fund multi-millionaires/billionaires.  I am Indian, BTW.

The thing is that I knew these guys when they were in college with me and DH. They come to my house when they are in the area, we visit when we are in their city (and if they are in town). I am not poor, I am DC MC, with $350k HHI.

Associating with them has given me a good understanding of how my life is the same as theirs or how it has changed. Apart from the material things and the ease of getting things done because of money and connections, they have the same human concerns - relationships, health, kids.  I focus on the similarities.

Would I have been friends with them if I had met them now? Absolutely, if we had met and they wanted to be friends.   You met these moms through school or work or EC or something else, and so there is some commonality, no?  I fail to see why your wealth would be a hindrance to them. If they have a problem  even when you are being welcoming then do you really want to associate with them?
