People have a funny way of switching up how they treat you when there's a chance you might be able to help them benefit in some way. Usually, you see this in elementary school when the kid who's been bothering you at lunch sees you bring his favorite snack to school each day. Or, in high school, when the cool girl realizes you have been best friends with the football jock since pre-k. The thing about this "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" mentality is that it is almost always as transparent as glass. When the energy you receive from someone switches up because your circumstances change, you know it's time to kick them to the curb. They're not your friend, they just want to use you.

The woman in this next story explains that her friends continue to ask her for financial favors, including but not limited to business investments, yacht trips, and vacations, since learning that her father remarried into a rich family. A cool gift once in a while, maybe, but a business investment? Do you want to have my ATM PIN, too?

  • "Dad got remarried to a rich woman and now all of my friends are asking for free stuff"

    Basically the title. My (26F) dad (50s M) got remarried to a wealthy woman (late 40s F). Her brothers are both close to being billionaires, but want to maintain their privacy so they're by no means "public figures".

  • Not only they found out about these wealthy new family members, but began obsessing over it. Some highlights include:

  • Sorrelmare9 Well now, they might not be friends anymore. Now that they know that you're related by marriage to a rich person, the "friends" won't be able to get over the fact that just bc they know someone is rich, doesn't mean they'll get free stuff. I also can't believe that they would ask for free stuff, especially that expensive. I'm embarrassed to even ask my parents for 20 bucks!

  • RileyCargo42 I can imagine joking about how you should pay for a giant trip to the dollar store, but a vacation or business money? Nah they can go ask a bank.
