Simple:
A) Don't show any interest when she does this, instead of saying stuff to encourge her like "really ?? Awsome, good for you!!", etc. And don't simile either. B) Every time she does this...change the subject. Just bring some subject up off the top of your head. or...lastly C) Say..."hey, ummm, can you stop talking about that all the time?"

If she's a real friend and in other situations she understands you just tell her how you feel. Friendship is based on trust and respect. Yeah you respect her dearly to sit and listen to the same thing all the time but it shouldn't make you jealous at all. She expects the truth from you and for you to be honest with her. She'll understand if she doesn't ask yourself was she really a friend if she only want you to listen to her instead of both of you listening to each other at times.

Ha, that reminds me of my friend, even though I am not over weight in the least, I take good care of my body and all, but, my friend, she is a toothpick, and yet she always has to talk about how fat she is...
When I get tired of it, I just say, OK, can we talk about something else, damn, its all about you~ jokingly, yet, I really am serious, and she usually gets the hint. And with you & work, once work is over for the day, work should be the last thing people want to talk about, tell her to leave it there, I mean, geez, dont you get tired of takin bout work? I do! lol

Tell her flat out that you don't appreciate being the bottom of the stack. If she's a good enough friend she will quit bragging and move on to something more worthwhile to talk about. If she's not, separate yourself from her - it's not worth your green monster.

Tell her that you are really happy for her, but you are having financial difficulties at the moment and talking about her prosperity is really bringing you down, see if you can talk about something that interests the both of you...and not just having the conversation lean towards just her or just you, gl!

I would just tell her, in a nice way, that you'd rather talk about something else because when you get out of work your sick of work and don't want to think about it anymore. That's what I did.

i had a friend of 17 years, she was my best friend (WAS) all she did was talk about herself, all this $$$$ she makes, her job, and anything else she could think of to try and make me jealous i think. it was all about her all the freakin time, i basicly got tired of hearing all the b.s. so we parted ways and we haven`t spoken in over 6 months now, it was the best thing for me anyways. sounds like your friend is alot like mine, self centered, my sugestion to you is try and talk to your friend and tell her you don`t want to hear about it all the time, try and change the subject maybe, have you ever thought she likes to hear herself talk about herself, purposly makin you jealous cuz maybe she thinks she is better than you(in her eyes) this could be the case, or maybe not but in my case their were many things wrong with our friendship so sometimes its best to squash things, just try n talk to her. does she ever ask you how you are or about your work ? think about it... good luck hun

Just tell her the truth. I bet she'll understand. This kind of thing happened to my friend once. Her friend was a little mad for a few hours but she was okay after.

Let her know in a polite way that this is all she ever talks about and that you would like to talk about something else....
