Her Friends Are Mad At Her For Hiding That She’s Rich, And Now They’re Demanding She Pay For Them To Have Certain Things
Although this 25-year-old girl is rich, she doesn’t enjoy talking about what she has or money in general.
She really is quite private about her wealth, as she witnessed the ugly things people did for money growing up. She even watched as money ruined her brothers.
Sadly, her parents passed away when she was small, so her grandparents were the ones who raised her.
“It was a very privileged upbringing, but they also raised me to be frugal and grateful for what I have. I’m incredibly grateful for what I have,” she explained.
“I don’t show off or anything. I don’t care for labels; most [of] my clothes are thrifted. My husband (33m) and I live well within our means.”
“The problem is, our friend group has just found out that I’m rich, and they’re mad. We had friends over for dinner, and the wife of my husband’s best friend went into our office to take a private work call.”
She and her husband have allowed their friends to use their office for phone calls in the past, and there has never been a problem before.
But, her friend went digging through their personal documents while she was on her call, and happened across her trust fund information and other paperwork regarding her different investments.
By the time her friend finished the call and exited the office, she was clearly fuming. She figured her friend’s call had been upsetting, and that was why she was so angry, so she gave her some space and finished cooking dinner.

“She started telling everyone that I was actually rich, showing them one of the documents she had taken from the office,” she said.
“My husband took it off her and told her it was none of her business. At dinner, she kept going on about me masquerading as poor because I thrift, have a cheap old car, travel in economy, and don’t offer to cover the bill when we go out.”
“Our other friends agreed, and we were [mad] because they had never said I had money, never offered money when one of them was struggling. We ended up cutting dinner short and asking everyone to leave.”
Since that disaster of a dinner, people have been flooding her with messages to say they’re livid that she never revealed that she’s rich.
Some of her friends have even had the audacity to ask her to give them money. One friend in particular demanded $50,000 to pay for their student loans, since she didn’t have to pay for her college education.
Her husband keeps insisting she should ignore everyone since her personal finances shouldn’t be their business.
“His best friend has called and apologized for all this, as his wife shouldn’t have been snooping,” she continued.
“I’ve been very much frozen out from the group; I’ve been told I won’t be invited to anything until I pay my equal share, and by equal share, they mean I pay for everything.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her not to tell her friends she’s actually rich.
