Her Friend Is Furious With Her For Saying It Wasn’t Wrong That She Got Dumped By Her Rich Boyfriend For Being Bad With Money
This 23-year-old girl has a 24-year-old friend that she has been close to since they met back in college.
Unfortunately, her friend got dumped by her boyfriend six months ago, and ever since then, she has constantly been consoling her friend, who can’t seem to get over it.
“When he broke up with my friend, he gave her a list of reasons, one of those being their different outlook on finances,” she explained.
“According to my friend, her ex grew up more wealthy, landed a high-paying job out of grad, and has a lot saved up.”
“My friend, on the other hand, says she has no money in her bank account and spends all the money she acquires shopping and can barely afford food.”
She has tried her hardest to be respectful about teaching her friend to save her money instead of spending it on frivolous things she does not need at all.
Despite her attempts to intervene, her friend claims she can’t help her bad spending habits. So, clearly, her friend is not interested in improving her bleak financial situation.
Not only is her friend in debt from her college education, but she’s also in credit card debt, and she has no way of digging herself out of this hole.
A week ago, her friend was going on and on about how awful her ex-boyfriend is and that he didn’t have a valid excuse to dump her.

Her friend insisted her ex was mean to dump her simply because of their opposing views on money, and her friend added it’s also not fair she was born into poverty.
“I comforted her but disagreed with her sentiment on their different outlooks on finances part,” she said.
“I told her that I don’t think it was wrong for him to break up with her over different views on finances, and it just meant they weren’t compatible. I brought up how money happens to be one of the biggest issues in relationships and the reason for divorce.”
“Since she prefers to date richer men, I think it’s fair for the man she’s dating to want to also date someone who is more financially responsible. I told her I’m not trying to be rude, but I think I should tell her this for her own sake, and she needs to get herself out of debt and work on being more financially responsible for her future.”
Her friend has been absolutely livid with her ever since she shared her opinion. Her friend views what she said as a sign of her lack of support. Her friend also thinks she’s just siding with her ex.
Her friend accused her of not being understanding because she’s not in a position where she’s suffering financially as she is.
Her friend is no longer speaking to her, so she’s left wondering if it was out of line for her to have informed her friend that her ex wasn’t wrong to dump her over financial irresponsibility.
