Have ever known someone who are trying to pretend that he/she is rich, according to her. But you all knew about her, her family, backgrounds and everything. I have a roommate before in college. I was amaze by the first time I knew her. She was known to bought expensive cloths, foods and everything. At the back of my mind I thought of maybe she is rich for real. But as months gone by, I had witnessed some scenario that she was borrowing money from our neighbor rooms then. Until she asked me if she could borrow too. I was about to say something regarding her behavior but then she was begging me, her mom can't send her money for the week. I let her borrowed. The next day, I was speechless cause I saw her with her new cloths she just bought. And I immediately confronted her and I told her that I wish she never lied to me. That money I lend to her was supposed to be my budget for the whole week and now I will be the one to suffer. I thought I could be able to her instead she make me believed of her lies.

People need some variety of help the one that you encounter was suffering form her own personal dilema, I think she is having difficulty controlling her desire of owning things and possessing.

I know someone like your roommate. Actually we're classmates during high school and college years. We become close during college years because we stay in the same dormitory. She's sophisticated, likes to hang out, and always spending momney for not important things. Sometimes she borrowed money from me but in a small amount only. What surpriced me most, when I discovered that she also borrowed money from our other classmates in a large amount and I am not expecting it. Big amount that i cannot imagine for a student to borrow. But when you look at her as if she has no financial problem.

It is such a turn-off when people pretend to be something they're not. We also have a colleague who says that she comes from a well-off family, and, true enough, she has a lot of clothes and a lot of jewelry. She also travels frequently. But, she hides her family and house from us. Wouldn't even show us pictures. Which is odd since with us her colleagues, it's really no secret. Sometimes we suspect that the things she has is given my a married man who she said was pursuing her. We suspect that she finally received the 'indecent proposal'. We're sad about it, but, we keep mum because she doesn't like to talk about it anymore.

Sadly she took advantage of your generosity. Do know that she will end up financially strapped with her behavior if it does not change.
I have known someone like this and actually for a while and to date I have no idea about her whereabouts after she lost all she had worked for.
This form of behavior later in life leads to big financial problems. Just know that you did what you thought was right.
