I work a stressful but very (financially) rewarding job - comfortably 6 figures with generous bonuses. My DH out earns me and I know we are very fortunate in that respect.
I’m attempting to turn a hobby/passion into a small side business and have spoken to various friends about it.
More or less all of them have questioned why I need to do this as they don’t feel I need the money. That isn’t the motivating factor though, it’s for enjoyment and linked to my passion.
AIBU to feel a bit upset at their outlook with this? Even after I explain my reasons they still turn it back to money.
I don’t think it’s jealousy as my DH suggested, but I just feel a bit deflated and that my friends should be supporting me..
