Money isn’t everything… But it also is. Especially when you’re young. When you’re just starting out in your early 20s you’re probably bonded with your friends over the fact that you’re not making that much money. You are in it together when it comes to making meals at home. You don’t expect each other to go on crazy vacations. You can commiserate about how hard it can be when you are first starting out. It’s part of your bonding experience with your friends in your 20s.

But what would happen if one of you was secretly rich and hiding it from everyone else? And I’m not talking about «They secretly grew up wealthy and have family money.» I’m talking about they have $1 million in their bank account at this moment. You might feel betrayed that they were keeping that from you. Nobody likes the secret. Nobody likes to feel like they’ve been deceived. You might feel like they could’ve helped you in certain moments when you needed it. You might feel that they could’ve picked up the dinner bill every once in a while. But do you have the right to be angry about it?
