    I’ve known only one person with money as a friend and the only reason they were tolerable was because they never brought it up. They were just very successful at what they did and made really good money doing it, but that was only a slice of the type of person they were.

      I had a friend that complained to me a few times about not feeling wealthy. This is someone with a household income 15X what I did.
