[quote=Anonymous]OP -- if she annoys you, you don't have to hang out with her even in a small office; you need to be polite but can be a little more distant when it comes to chatting, decline invites to lunch due to errands or due to the fact that you're brown bagging etc. But let her have her happiness. Yes in the relative sense for the DC area -- if she and her DH are making 120-140k combined, it isn't a LOT. But in the absolute sense for someone coming from a small town in an area with a dying economy who has no college degree, 120k is more money than she probably ever expected to see in her lifetime -- no matter where she lived. It's likely that her parents or grandparents never made that kind of money their whole lives and they likely managed to own homes and raise a family. If that 120k makes her feel rich, let her. If she in her heart of hearts realizes that it isn't rich esp in an urban area and decides to take on CC debt in order to have a leased BMW and whatever other amenities, let her. You're not her mother and she can live how she chooses. That doesn't mean that you have to listen to it 8 hrs a day either -- just politely cut it off and subtly let it be known you're not interested in her latest purchase without stomping all over her dreams.[/quote]
