It’s weird, I see this too, plus an assumption everyone who can afford things must be in debt snd it’s paid by credit card. Some people think everyone is in the same financial situation as them, you see lots of how can they afford that stuff.
we like to go to a lot of concerts /gigs. I mean the big ones. Adele, Springsteen, capaldi etc. and we do a few a year, and we always get really good tickets. And we always get asked, by a couple pair of friends, how much did that cost then. Then a dialogue on how it’s a rip off. I always get the impression they are jealous, as they’d love to go, but won’t consider paying that sort of price. They could afford it. Then we get the dialogue on the cost of food and drink when there. I didn’t ask it’s not your money, so shut it.
we all recently went away for a long weekend, booked an air b n b. Went to the local supermarket. I put some lurpak in my trolley and got a dialogue about why would I waste money on a small pack of lurpak for 3 nights and have to leave most of it behind.
well because we like lurpak. And how much did your avalanche of wine cost.doris..
lastly clothes, I like nice clothes. I buy a lot on vinted, but also new, my clothes are clearly good quality and expensive. I get snide comments from one friend, about how they don’t need expensive clothing, with a look up and down. It’s like who asked you to buy some, there is no prizes in looking like a homeless dude. If I want to wear nice clothes I shall. I don’t ask for opinions, I don’t mention my clothes and don’t wish comments.
it annoys me in the moment. I’ve never ever looked at someone and thought how much did that cost, what a waste, it wouldn’t even occur to me to think about how someone else spends their money
