I appreciate the transparency granted by this contributor (and all the others previously). This particular diary makes me wonder how forthcoming folks are with the people close to them about their financial standing, particularly when generational wealth is present. Generosity in friendship is great – and I would imagine and hope reciprocal, but it's one thing for oneself to act as though a large cushion of money isn't present/available and entirely another if the people in one's life have an inaccurate narrative and act/give based on that. Just came across this video, and it pretty much sums up my feelings about it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4BeKEqsFbg/?igsh=MTBydWtvNW51eWtr
