She Finally Freaked Out On Her Friend For Being Obsessed With Her Rich Parents
This 18-year-old girl is currently attending college outside the United States for engineering. A four-year degree at her college costs $35,000.
She has a friend the same age as her named Jane, who has become increasingly obnoxious about her “rich parents.”
Jane complains to everyone who will listen to her regarding how loaded her parents are. The first time Jane came over to her apartment, she went on and on about how nice it must be for her parents to pay for everything.
Jane was clearly envious that she can afford to live in a great apartment; however, her parents don’t pay for this at all.
In fact, her parents are not rich in the least, and Jane simply assumed they have money based on where she lives.
“My mom is a schoolteacher who works part-time, and my dad is an engineer in a field so bad he somehow makes less than her right now,” she explained.
“When I was born, my parents set up an education savings account for me and added to it very consistently.”
She and her parents always agreed that as soon as she graduated from high school, she would move out and cover her own expenses while they paid for her college education.
She’s aware that she’s fortunate to have a mom and dad who are happy to pay for her to go to college, but that still leaves her on her own to manage to afford food, WiFi, utilities, rent, and everything else she needs.

Where she lives, all of her expenses add up to be more expensive than what it costs for her to even go to college every year.
As for how she’s managing to afford her lifestyle, she’s had a job since she turned 15 and worked hard every summer between high school.
She has taken the time to break this all down for Jane, but Jane just ignores her and chooses to believe her own narrative.
“When we go out for snacks, she’ll try to get me to pay for her because “my parents pay for everything, and I have a lot of money,” she added.
“She’ll constantly make comments about how easy my life is because I get an allowance from my parents (I don’t) in front of other people, very loudly.”
Jane also remarks on how her mom and dad purchased her a fancy apartment, even though this is a lie.
Jane will even say things like it’s nice she doesn’t have to worry about budgeting, but the thing is, she does have to worry about that.
She has very little room to spend as she pleases since the cost of living near campus is ridiculously high.
Again, she’s tried her hardest to bring Jane back to reality, but Jane won’t listen to a single word that comes out of her mouth when she tries to set the record straight.
A few days ago, Jane told their friends that she could drive them all to the mall since her mom and dad purchased her a car.
What’s crazy is that her parents didn’t buy her a car, and she does not even own a car, so she’s clueless as to why Jane would make a claim like that.
She finally freaked out on Jane, calling her envious and out of touch with reality. She threw in there that if Jane can’t wrap her brain around how she’s funding her life with her own hard work, that says more about her than anything else.
Jane quickly left, and things with the rest of their friends was awkward following the blow-up.
While Jane was being unquestionably rude, most of her friends believe she shouldn’t have freaked out on her, and Jane deserved more kindness and respect.
What do you think; did she handle things in the best way?
