[quote=Anonymous]I understand OP. I am friends with someone whose house cost 5 times what mine did and who has a great deal of money. There is a divide there that we are both area of and in our case we have kind of overcome it by joking about it. one of the challenges of the friendship is differences in lifestyle. We don't have the cash to do many of the activities that they do and so we often have to say no. It is a balancing act  - I don't want here paying for things for me so I can do them and I don't want her to feel she can't talk about her lifestyle because mine is different. It works for us but we are at a point in the friendship where we talk pretty openly about money and the chasm between us because otherwise it would still be there but would become awkward due to it being the elephant in the room.

I agree it isn't an issue for your daughter. you can raise her to understand that some have more and some have less and it isn't money or material items that make the person someone of character. Who she is is not determined by what she possesses. [/quote]
