This is going to be a huge rant, so please bear with me. And I'm going to clear some things up first so I don't get attacked...
I come from a well-to-do family, not extremely wealthy, but I've always lived in a big house, always had nice cars, you know, basic rich suburbian family. I've worked since I was 12. I worked at my sister's job typing papers because I was a fast typer back then, something that was not seen too much. Then when I turned 16 I started a job at Taco Bell, and I worked there until I graduated highschool. I hardly ever spent money, birthday presents, christmas money, it all went into a savings account.
I saved and saved and saved until I had about 17 grand in the bank. And then my parents told me they were going to buy me a car for my 18th birthday (I was driving an old piece of junk I got from my uncle, but it ran and I never complained). So I sold my old car, and I explained to my dad that I didn't want them to buy me a car, that I wanted to buy my own with the money I had saved, and if they could help me if the cost was too high.
They said sure! And we looked at cars for a good month before I decided I wanted a Cadillac SRX, but at the time, I didn't have enough, so I got a CTS instead. I gave my savings to my parents and I've continued saving since, because for this coming birthday, I want a 2007 Cadillac SRX, which is 5 grand more than my CTS right now.
And so my friend of a few years that I met in highschool decided she was going to try and rally all my friends that are girls against me (none of the guys give a shit what she has to say... as expected from guys). She keeps telling them that I keep saying I'm better than them, and that I once told a girl she was too poor to be my friend. Which is TOTAL BULLSHIT! I would never say that to someone, it's cruel and wrong.
But then she called me and started attacking me about how my parents bought me my first car (a 2004 Cadillac CTS) for a graduation present and that I get everything handed to me, including my schooling and everything I own. Total bullshit, as I've explained, I paid for 90% of my car and I pay for my schooling myself. Everything I own pretty much is paid by ME except my house to live in, I even pay for my own food!
I hung up on her, and then saw her later that night, while my boyfriend tried his hardest to hold me back from yelling at her, I managed to walk up to her and all my "ex" friends while they stopped talking abruptly, obviously talking about me.
I was so angry and I eventually called her a betraying hypocrite for saying such stuff about me just because she was jealous. Then she got up and got into my face... (bad idea) so I ended up pushing her down and telling her to listen because I was sick of her shit.
I told her she was out of line by saying my parents paid for everything, and that she should look at herself! She is the ONE who NEVER pays for her own shit! She mooches all the time, asking people to pay for her food so she can buy Coach purses and Gucci sunglasses. Her parents paid for her Jetta and she's never even made a payment for her four year university her parents are paying for! She's never even had a job in her life, she just mooches off her parents.
So I told her to shove that up her ass, because she was no friend of mine to say such things about me. And then I told my (ex) friends:
"If you still wanna be friends with me, great, if not, well good luck in life. Because I don't have room in MY life for hypocrites who betray me."
Then I left with my boyfriend. And not really surprisingly, but half the guys there left to hang out with us saying she was out of line and all this crap. That she was just jealous.
I'm still mad, and I don't plan to ever talk to her again, but I am really hurt by the fact that all my other friends who are girls just believed what she said. I can't believe it, I have never shown my friends anything but respect, and I don't like talking about my money or my family's money ever.
Then this morning I talked to one of my friends on the phone and she told me that it always seemed that I get everything for free from my parents, because I have all these things and I'm only 20. But I told her "You have to realize that I pay for everything for myself, it's how my parents raised me, I worked for my money and my clothes. Even though my parents could have easily spoiled me, they never did."
Anyways... rant done for now...
I'm still seething... grr.
