OP, you probably should have posted in a financial forum.  I understand what you're trying to say, though.

I have a "wealthy" co-worker who hangs out with a wealthy crowd and they take expensive vacations and talk investments, etc. which she is very discreet about.  She also remains very involved with the family and friends who have mostly blue collar backgrounds and have no idea of her recent "millionaire" status.  [/quote]

Thanks for the friendly post. I will probably end up like your friend. My family and friends are not blue collar. They are all very hard working professionals. They generally spend too much time working and too much time with their kids. They are reasonably well off financially, but they have a poor quality of life. My post is not just about wealth, but about success and happiness too.

In a way, I am like a lottery winner or perhaps like a young athlete or musician that signed a big contract. Once your life changes like this, it changes your existing relationships. Typically 2 things happen: 1) your friends envy you and you lose them. this is them rejecting you as much as you choosing new friends. 2) you generously share your wealth and party with entourages. In this case, you quickly lose your status and end up broke. Both outcomes are bad.[/quote]
