This young 18-year-old girl decided to attend a smaller college, and while at school, she obviously met some new people.

However, it appears that since moving away from her hometown bubble, she has become friends with people who cannot really relate to her upbringing.

Now, she claims that she has never cared about anyone else’s socioeconomic status– likely because she spent her entire life in the same neighborhood, surrounded by people who hailed from a similar background as her.

One of her college friends named Amy, though, is reportedly much different. According to her, Amy is open about not being well-off. In fact, her friend’s family reportedly makes about $36,000 a year in total.

“But, frankly, I could not care less about how much money you have if we are just friends,” she said.

In spite of that, she claims that Amy keeps making “backhanded comments” about her wealth.

For instance, she was once telling Amy a story about how the teens from her high school used to drive Porsches to school in order to show off.

She also mentioned how nobody really cared or gave those people any attention since everyone’s family had one.

Her friend was not really okay with that, though, and reportedly made some snide comments about “rich people.”

She also claims that Amy makes comments whenever she gets takeout or goes out to eat once a week.

“Also, one time, I went to buy groceries with her, and Amy told me that ‘I should pay for it because I’m rich’ when I told her that we should split the cost of the eggs,” she added.

More recently, though, there was one more incident that caused a pretty big fight between her and Amy.

It all began after one of their mutual friends, named Pam, wanted to visit the jewelry store Tiffany in order to buy a gift for a family member. And since Pam did not want to go alone, both she and Amy agreed to go.

Then, once the day actually came, the three girls took the bus to the store. But, right before they entered the store, Amy suddenly said that she would be going to get boba a few blocks away and would meet her and Pam afterward.

Now, she claims that she and Pam were a little bit confused because Amy never indicated they would be splitting up upon arrival. Nonetheless, they told Amy that was fine and went their separate ways.

After being in the store for only around 10 or 15 minutes, though, Amy showed up back at the store and texted her– claiming to be standing outside.

Pam was still busy browsing and talking to the clerk, though, so she told Amy to just come inside the store. After all, it was snowing outside.

To her surprise, though, Amy refused to come inside. So, after a few more minutes, she decided to leave Pam inside to browse and went outside to talk to Amy.

At that point, she also informed Amy that Pam was going to be a bit longer. Then, she urged her friend to come inside one more time in order to get out of the snow.

Apparently, though, Amy claimed that “poor people” were not able to enter luxury stores. And she thought that was just ridiculous, given that neither she nor Pam was telling Amy to buy anything. Plus, she knew that the store clerk would not kick Amy out just for browsing.

So, since she could not understand Amy’s logic, she kind of ended up telling her friend off.

“I don’t understand your inferiority complex,” she told Amy.

“You would rather stand in the snow because you think that just walking into a luxury store means that people will automatically know and judge you for being poor? Because you don’t walk in and purchase something? Get over yourself; plenty of people just browse and leave.”

Yikes! Of course, Amy did not take those comments kindly and ended up firing back at her. She got accused of being privileged and also got told that she should just get a “sugar daddy” in order to maintain her current lifestyle.

“But I told her that I don’t need no sugar daddy because my parents have enough for three lifetimes,” she revealed.

Anyway, ever since that incident, she and Amy’s friendship has been pretty rocky. So now, she has been left wondering whether telling Amy to get over herself and the “inferiority complex” makes her a total jerk or not.

Would you get frustrated if a friend was always making comments about your wealth or privilege? At the same time, can you understand where Amy was coming from, given her situation? Do you think both girls should have a bit more empathy toward each other? If not, how do you think this situation should be handled?
