[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I had a friend like this who I had to off-ramp. I was so happy for her bc I knew how hard she’d worked to get her new big job and start upgrading her life and I respected her perseverance so much, but after—? Literally we would go to lunch and she would just fire off lists of brand-name thing after brand-name thing, followed by their exact dollar amounts, stopping to punctuate her sentences w the name of her company and salary or bonus info, or rehashing the same tired old grievances about people we both stopped talking to years ago and how she’s better than them now. Every. Single. Time. I get that she was trying to get comfortable w her new reality by saying things out loud, and on some level was maybe also trying to prove something to me which is so completely unnecessary, but WOW it was just soo freaking tedious and BORING. Like what happened to the big dreams and interesting ideas? And I for one actually love sharing resources and talking renos, vacations, hobbies, and other things that delve into experience, culture, taste, etc …even fashion!… but having “money” be every third word out of your mouth just isn’t it for me.
