There are 2 people in my life that clearly have no money worries whatsoever. Evidence being:
1)They NEVER know how much anything costs. It just doesn't matter to them.
2)They won't even consider buying clothes or anything thats in a Sale...as it must be 'last season'.
3)They get themselves into serious financial trouble..... but their parents bail them out..... therefore they don't even see the situations as serious!
Now.... I've found myself getting really short with them. One is a very close friend, the other is a work colleague.
I actually get a nervous twitch if one of them says the words "I'm skint". They are not that wealthy BTW.... they just don't care about money as they always know someone will sort out their problems.
I don't think I'm jealous.... but then why else would I be reacting this way.
I;ll give you an example:
Coleague (lets call her Jan): I really need a new Computer Desk. Where else can I look online apart from John Lewis???
Me: Eh... what about Argos or Ikea?
Jan blanks me and turns to someone else: Have you got any ideas?
Me: Why don't you want to look at Ikea or Argos.
Jan smiles and rolls her eyes: Oh I know, I'll try Habitat and Next!
Me: Okay....if you don't like my 1st suggestions what about MFI?
Jan smiles patronisingly: I just don't like furniture out of those kind of places.
Me (nervous twitch in full throttle): Why not? Are you rrrreally that much of a snob!!?
Jan (shocked look): I'm not a snob!! I just like the finer things in life.
Me: HA! You're a snob.
Then I carry on with work and she goes onto purchase a £15 million Gold plated Computer Desk with built in NASA technology.... I presume.
Am I bitter????? Or does anyone else share my irritation at people who are such SNOBS about things!!!!?
PHEW.... that feels better!
