[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friendship just like this where I’m in your position.  I’m not a bragger, and I’m willing to bet you aren’t either – it’s just that these types are super sensitive to everything and DCUM loves to jump all over people.  I’m actually tight lipped about money, though I am big on investing since DH and I have a goal of early retirement (and no – I don’t discuss the investments, how much goes in etc.).  Friend who left the private sector within 3-4 years and went to a non profit knows about our early retirement goal only because we’ve said we won’t stick in the area after age 55 and will move to a LCOL area etc.; she has no idea that we’re targeting x million or how we intend to get there.  The other day she asks directly – do you have enough to retire now? Uh – none of your business!? But you can tell the insecurity it causes when she tells me she hasn’t maxed out a 401k in 7 years due to the huge pay cut she took and yet you know she’s thinking – hmm I bet they’re maxing out, do you think they have other investments on top of that etc.  So yeah – these awkward things only grow with time.[/quote]

Well, no. The difference here is the blatant disdain and judgment with which op talks about her friend and her choices [/quote]
