Tell her she's going to hell for making money her god, and when she gets there she's going to be absolutely broke and with nothing for all eternity.

I find it strange that this type of person remains in Vancouver, a city that doesn't even have a real business district let alone a finance centre. Just a corporate office here or there. Do you think they know they're actually total lightweights and would be eaten alive in a real city?

My exp has been that when they get married and have kids (& you don't) that's when the friendship starts dwindling.

Hmnnn...this comment and it’s attitude of superiority sounds eerily familiar to another one made about a different post. The idea that one has to be anywhere but here in order to lead a life of interest.

I know someone who is ALWAYS chasing the $. I respect their work either for sure, and they make millions a year now. But their family suffers, there is almost no downtime and they have missed out on living a full life because of it. BUT they will financially comfortable, where people like me, meh, I don't need much

Ask her to pay? I'd like to say have a hunting conversation but if she works in corporate she is probably used to a more harsh approach now. Hopefully she will balance out in a few years but if she has money she will probably like spending money. You might need to say something like "I'm poor!" instead of "simple life".

You are probably boring her to the brink.
Just tear the bandage off already!

She’ll be in a mental hospital in no time. Lots of brilliant folks in those buildings.

It doesn’t really sound like much of a friendship. Why are you trying so hard to be friends with someone you don’t like anymore?

We live in one of the the most expensive places in the world.
Complaining about being too money focused is Ok when you're 25, but if you're 50-60 and have no retirement fund, no home, etc I imagine it gets very scary.
