I have a friend who always acts superior.
She's always showcasing her fortune and talking about her beautiful *costly* house, cars and meals.
When I found a new rent, she told me: "oh how did you afford it at such a price"? She always gives me tips on how to budget, without me asking for them. When I told her about my trip to Bulgaria, she told me oh "why did you choose Bulgaria? Cause it's cheap?" All she cares about is cost and money.
I hate her "YOU" and "ME" attitude.
Isn't she acting a little bitchy?

I don't think I'd want to be friends with someone like that in the first place. I have a few guy friends who think being seen in a Honda Civic (which is the type of car I have) isn't cool enough. But these guy friends also live at home with their parents still, and one doesn't have a job. In my experience, people who think money and nice things make you better than other people, are the same people that have nothing else in their lives to be proud of.

Doesn't sound like much of a friend. Why do you even hang out with her if you two are so different? Sounds like you need to have a talk with her. Tell her how she acts and how it makes you feel. If she is a real friend, she'll listen and improve. Otherwise, she is not worth having as a friend. Move on.
In answer to the question, though, sometimes I hate it when people act superior... but usually I just feel sorry for them. People who act like that are almost always compensating for their own insecurities and deficiencies. It is often a defensive cover. Still, sorry or not, I don't tend to hang out with people like that for long!

Sounds as if she might be Narcissistic to some degree which is the polar opposite of feeling superior. It may be the need to have constant feedback that she is "wonderful" so that she remains stable. If that doesn't work, then the put down of you might suffice. She might view you as "food" for her ego, and if so what keeps her your friend? Search Narcissistic Personality

Some people like this might one day need your advice as well. Having someone around who has money isn't the worst type of friend I could think of. Study her for awhile and get to know her past and family. Who knows, she might even leave you her estate.

A need for wealth is an insecurity, then this maybe stems from that. You should start citing statistics about how worrying it must be, that so many nice cars are stolen, houses broken into.
Ruin her ha ha ha.

That is who she was, so, accept it. It does not harm you but yes, it tickles your pride. Well, you could tell her that she should think of her life and not yours. Explain to her that you have different lifestyles and preferences. It does not matter on her because she can’t be affected with your decisions. And prove to her that you are happy with every decisions that you have made within her interference among those.

She just sounds like a materialistic person. Also, money is the most important aspect of her life.
