My friend is rich, and I don’t know how to respond/react when he talks about money?

A friend of mine has a lot of money (some self-earned, some inherited). He often talks about how much money he made and/or spent. I just feel so uncomfortable and conflicted (jealous, upset–that he is not more generous not just with me but with those in true need, unable to relate–like the disparity between us is growing, etc.) when he talks about his money, and end up tongue-tied on what to say! Advice?

An effort to gain more knowledge on how they feel close friends would share your feelings with your views.
An effort to change the subject in an effort to do that then you can seek to change the subject in an effort to do that then you can seek to do that then you dont feel.

Tell him he’s being a basket full of snooze. No one wants to hear how much money someone has! It’s common sense. Tell him you won’t keep hanging out with him until he gets his manners straightened out. Good luck!
P.S. That’s why I don’t watch Oprah anymore. I love her and she gives piles of money away, but I don’t want to keep seeing how much money she has! Blah!

you should tell him not to talk about it so much,
and if you think its annoying tell him that.
but if he keeps talking about it tell him he needs to stop talking about it or else you might not hang out with him as much.

i think you should let him know how you feel. Money isnt about everything if you aren’t happy. If he’s a Real Friend he’d respect that.

His conversation seems a bit self centered in fact boring i would have thought. Most people who have a lot of money don’t go around broadcasting the fact and if that’s how he gets off perhaps you should tell him so. I know i would the pompous ass.
