[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just some practical advice for OP, why don’t you build relationships based on WHO people are vs WHAT they have. Try it, you may make some unexpected friends. Focus and prioritize relationships that matter, THAT will make your life rich.[/quote]

Op here. I have some good old friendships. I assure you that money is not the base but it feels like I am being deceitful to hide things from them. It’s not like we have discussions about money but we have what I think are normal conversations about vacations, saving for college, helping age parents, refinancing a mortgage etc. And I have a hard time relating. So instead I just sit quiet while they all discuss it. It’s awkward for me and them. We all know why. And the subject is often changed to avoid it. But that is in an of itself awkward and unrelatable.[/quote]
This may sound stupid, but... have you considered helping them financially? I don’t know how rich you are and whether they would accept it, but if a friend suddenly became rich and told me they have everything taken care of and will be happy to contribute to my kid’s 529, I would be over the moon [/quote]
