This 22-year-old woman has a friend named Amy, who is the same age as her, and they are in their final semester of college.

Money has never been a topic of discussion throughout their friendship, but she lives by herself, and Amy has two roommates.

She has said to Amy she’s planning on completing her master’s while finding a job; that way, she can save some cash but also have the ability to spend money on travel, as well as other things she adores.

Amy literally laughed at her and wanted to know what kind of pay she thought she would get at a part-time position that would allow her to afford it all.

She responded that she only has to pay for food; she doesn’t have additional expenses she has to come up with cash for.

Amy was surprised and wanted to know how she would pay for her rent, and she admitted her parents help her out.

“She then went on a rant about becoming an adult, how she can’t wait to be independent, how she doesn’t want to take money from her parents and stuff like that,” she explained.

“For the most part, I tried to nod my head and listen to her, but then she said something like, “I’d feel like a bad daughter if I were you.” And that really made me feel embarrassed.”

“My parents want to pay for my apartment; they can easily afford it, and I’m not the type of person to be ungrateful for it.”

“I spend a lot of time with them; I know they don’t lack money for anything; they travel, own their house, and have a good retirement plan. They don’t mind paying for me, and I don’t mind taking it. We have a good relationship.”

She doesn’t expect her parents to fund her life for all her adult years – it’s only until she is able to finish school and find a job that pays her well.

Growing irritated, she tried to get Amy to quit it and change the topic, but Amy went on and on about how her mom and dad want her to be a “real adult.”

Amy then said that she will never have any ambition if she doesn’t understand how to struggle. She finally had enough and snapped at Amy that perhaps her mom and dad love her more than hers do, so that’s why they’re happy to help pay for her life. She said sorry before asking to discuss another subject.

“We didn’t talk since, and I do feel bad because I know that love has nothing to do with money, and looking back, it’s such a rude thing to say, but I just said it to shut her up because she was insulting me and calling me spoiled for no reason,” she continued.

“I wasn’t even the one to start this conversation nor did I probe into her finances. She was the one who kept it going. Ever since that day, I feel a pit in my stomach, and I really didn’t want to insult her.”

She’s curious if she handled things with Amy in the wrong way. What do you think?
