I am not poor. I have a home, food to eat and a loving family. The thing is, we are on a tight budget and have to be careful about where we spend our money. Sometimes when I am around people who are in a better financial situation then me, they make me feel poor. For example, one time, two girls were planning on splitting the cost of a wedding gift for one of our friends, and said that they were going to spend 100 dollars each and asked me if I wanted to join them but I told them I can't because I'm on a tight budget, and they said things like, "Well, she is a good friend. So I don't have a problem spending so much money on her because I think it's worth it." And it made me feel like they think I'm cheap. How do I make people understand that my situation is much different from theirs? These girls come from pretty well off families and my family is, well normal.
