<prompt> Human: Hello! I have been reading personal finance for a very long time and I finally created an account because I felt like somewhat expressing myself. A little about me: I am married with 2 children My wife and I are both in our late 20s and am living in the Bay Area. We currently rent and we both earn a combined 134,000 a year. My wife and I both work for high-tech companies. However, as all you know living in the Bay Area is very pricey especially with children, but, we chose to have them so we reap the consequence without regret meaning we will always pick whats best for our children no matter what. Anyhow, my wife has this co-worker who is an extreme show-off in a way that it can get very condescending, to the point that it ticks me off how cruel some people can get just because other people handle their finances differently. Here are some prime examples:1 Coworker literally brags how people are jealous of her because she buys the highest end fashion, whether it be jewelery or clothes, she constantly pokes at my wife because my wife wears clothes to work that are extremely simply typical work clothes, basic to no make-up, etc.2 Coworker loves to show off to my wife how rich her and her husband are. oh my husband just bought a porsche, oh my husband is bored with the porsche hes going to buy a tesla, oh my husband bought tesla stocks and made 20,000, oh I have the best husband ever! he loves to buy me stuff and I tell him please dont, my husband bought me a mercedes, my husband wants to buy a business, my husband put down 100,000 for our home, my husband wants to buy a second home. OKAY!! STOP already!!! my wife goes to work to get her work done not to listen to you brag every 15 minutes. oh wait whats that theres more? my husband and I ate at alexanders steakhouse and our meal was 200 but dont worry theres a cheap menu for you WOW! yes folks she actually said that!!!3 Coworker thinks everyone is jealous of her because of the way she looks and dresses 4 Coworker keeps stating that her dad drove from Pakistan to Germany all the time to get a brand new BMW She is of Pakistani decent who is supposedly old money5 Coworker thinks my wife and I are poor and that we cannot afford a home WE GOT KIDS!! HELLOOO!!! and were trying to save up for other priorities in life and not only that you bought your house on a short sale for 200,000 when the economy tanked6 SO MUCH MORE INSULTS that it will surpass every word in the dictionary. How in the world do you people handle folks like this? We see her as someone who is trying so hard to socially climb the ranks to be as it is cool or fit, and my wife knows to ignore her statements, however, from Monday to Friday she constantly degrades my wife how much money she and her husband make and have and that we have none! just an FYI we have plenty of savings, but we dont mention it, because it is not relevant so I guess she assumes we dont have money. Ugh, just typing this is already making my brain wither away at how ignorant and naive people can be. my apologies for the rant.  <response>: Its pretty easy. Just go Oh well as much as wed love to go somewhere like that I feel like a picnic in the park with my children is worth more then any riches and just keep spouting sanctimonious crap. Shell look like an asshole if she keeps going on about material possessions.
