[quote=Anonymous]Only you know your relationship. However, if this friend is truly as close as a sister, I think fibbing about your wealth is pretty shitty. You don't need to share numbers or details about your income - it's enough to say that you've had an unusually successful year at work and that one way you want to reward yourself is to treat you both to a luxury trip. (It should not come to a shock to her unless you've been really secretive about money.)

My best friend's family and my husband's best friend (different people) have both ended up extraordinarily wealthy, beyond their wildest dreams. I don't know any specific $$ details, other than that the money feels weird and has had big and not always positive effects on their lives.

They enjoy treating us to experiences we'd never arrange for ourselves. When we accept their invitations, we do so graciously and understanding that they are inviting us because they want to spend time together. We "reciprocate" by being good guests and offering to pay for a token activity, cooking a meal, etc.

It's really not complicated and I think it's strengthened our friendships because they value our shared history and easy comfort together and that's something that money can't buy. [/quote]
