I know that feel. I'm not even broke or anything, I have plenty of disposable income. But I have a good friend who is a big cheese software engineer making six figures, and he pays for everything if we're having dinner or whatever.

My attitude is "whatever, you make triple what I do, let's go eat expensive food and you can pay everything." And we make jokes. But I secretly resent him for it, to be quite honest. He's smart and good at his job, but I went to a good university (more prestigious than his, in fact) and am working in my field (and I know I do a very good job) and I don't think it's fair that his field is so much more economically valued than mine.

yeah, yeah, whine whine arts major shoulda gone for STEM! Whatever. Still bitter.

Yeah, while in my case, my law friend probably makes ten times what I do... and that's with me gauging conservative. I'm disabled; poverty is pretty much a given. My yearly income is like four figures--and we did some time in Harvard. Just a summer, but still, talk about eating crow, huh?

It helps that my law friend is kinda ruthlessly pragmatic. It's one of the things I value about him; when I called him to share some new rape news, his response was just, "That's bad," and then going straight to the practicalities of cops and lawyers. He made it clear that he understood that him buying me food makes me uncomfortable, but that this was his way of giving us a treat. We only see him a few times a year, so it's not a regular thing.

I probably WOULD resent him if he weren't so lawyery. If that makes any sense. But he's just so devoid of sentimentality that I can accept from him what I probably couldn't from anyone else.
