I have friends who are filthy rich.. they don't understand the value of money and keep spending it on stupid and unnecessary things..
I am the only one in the group who came from a middle class family.. and I can't spend money like they do.. they never ask for contribution though, but it doesn't feel right.. I think one person shouldn't bear all the expenses.. no matter how rich s/he is.. but I can't explain it to them..
Do you have friends like that?

If i were rich i would help people and buy them things. I would never make them pay for anything especially if they are poor or middle class. I would not let money change me. I am very giving person with a giving heart who loves people and love to help others. But there is a point where i get taken atvatage of and i am poor. But if I were rich i would help others because its the right thing too do. I would give out of love material things are nice but i don't need to show off. I hope god rewards me one day and i can help others too. I would not be greedy that is for sure

It's great that you feel this way.. specially on the part when you said " i don't need to show off.."
I know I'm not their equal and they certainly don't have any intention to show off or anything but it kind of hurts my pride..

@Slayqueen I understand we struggle everyday and work just to make it by and they live in nice houses and have all the nice things. I wish god woudl flip our lives so they could see us though the looking glass.

@tuckersheri yeah .. maybe.. I am happy for them.. they're all nice people. But sometimes I feel like they should understand the value.. I mean spending carelessly on stuff that is not important ... Is heartbreaking. For me. Lol

Yes... But they don't? understand that... They keep saying let's go here and there but sometimes I don't have that kind of money to go here and there... it's embarrassing..

It's their money, let them spend it how they want to.

I am not saying that they shouldn't spend money.. but there are some rules when it comes to spending money on someone else..

when you can afford to spend tell them you can pay yourself

That is what I do.. I don't go out with them when I don't have any money.. they don't bother paying for me.. they're really nice people but.. It feels like charity..

Yeah there are something which people should know to respect,the value of money comes to understand when one is told to earn.Rich kids have money coming from parents so they don't understand the worth of it,i believe it's the role of their parents to make their kids known the facts that they must do something? worthy.If they are not advised then they may fall in some kind of wrong path,of which the parents remains unaware unless it is too late to discover

@Slayqueen thats exactly my point i am not complaining a child should not get the luxury,everyone should but they should be taught the value of such luxury, a child should not misuse it or take it for grant

Yeah.. I totally get your point but parents think giving a luxurious life to their children is a good thing to do . But they don't realise that the children will face problems in future..
