[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“You know what, Betty? My parents have millions. Literally millions. And Ted and I are making really good money. I’m concerned about you, because you seem so hung up on money. You’re always asking about it and talking about it, even though it’s none of your business. I’m starting to think you’re so focused on it because you don’t have enough. Were you planning to ask my parents for a loan?”

One and done.[/quote]

OP here. I'd KILL to say this. But I seriously can't bring myself to mention the fact that my parents have so much, ever again, since it seems gauche. But man I'd love to. [/quote]

Even if you say this it will likely go over her head and not change anything materially.

I’m the PP with a friend who has made extreme assumptions about my lack of familial wealth when I in fact will inherit millions.  I eventually said something like the above and disclosed that I will inherit millions.  It hasn’t changed a thing.  This friend is simply unable to understand that I am not poor.  They are bad at managing money and have their own issues.  It’s not about me.  You have to learn to tune it out and laugh it off.  [/quote]
