To think I can wear and buy whatever I want?

I have just got into a fight with one of my very good friends and a whole load of feelings were let out and I'm not sure which one of us was reasonable and should apologise, but I feel quite angry and attacked.

I went to visit her (along with another of our mutual close friend) at her place for a girls night in. I finished work late so went straight to hers , which is quite usual anyway. I get there, she looks me up and down, rolls her eyes and walks off 5 the kitchen. I shouted after and asked what the problem was. She said and I quote "is that a new bag? Again? " I ofcourse answered honestly and said yes and then got excited with my other friend who was checking out my bag.

Anyway, this led to friend A talking about how I always show off and buy ridiculously expensive things when I know that she is struggling and can't afford it. She then started listing all the things I have recently bought and how much they cost.

The most annoying part which made me angry was that she started going on about how she works 2 jobs and much harder than me and yet can't afford all these things and is struggling to feed her kids. She knows damn well that I work very hard in a pressured role and have made many sacrifices for my career. Anyway, after I also said some home truths, I stormed out and I believe friend B made her excuses to leave too. Please tell me she is in the wrong and I am justified to feel angry !

whois I am feeling genuinely bad that I was such an arse. Of course you've been a good friend, as this thread attests. I hope that money doesn't change everything between you. I genuinely don't think it needs to . Best of luck sorting it all out with her Flowers

StopGap But I have friends with Hermes handbags, multiple homes etc. and don't begrudge them wanting to spend their cash on extravagances.

Even though owning mutiple homes contributes towards inflated house prices, meaning someone else has to go without? Especially in certain rural areas of the country where people buying holiday homes price out locals...
