Should I invite some of my "poorer" friends over to my house?

Not to sound stuck up, but if they see how I live, they may feel bad about themselves and become depressed because there lives arent as good as mine. They are considered wealthy by normal standards, but nest to my family they are very poor. Will they know how to act at my house?

You are making a very superficial question, buddy. I always have had pretty lot of dough (probably more than you) and never my house and my belongings had anything to do with my friendships.





Bringing friends to your house is all about friendship and companionship and it has nothing to do with your personal belongings or in any case your parents belongings.





I can assure you, they will not feel bad about your things. But if you treat them meanly, then they will.





Well, what I am trying to tell you is be yourself and be good and charming and a great buddy with them.





That is what they will remember, not your TECH laden house!
Reply:Oh oh! What are you doing in this world? The world doesn't need a pretentious guy like you. If wanted to invite anyone you would do it.


Stop pretending! Perhaps you're homeless!
Reply:Give them the benefit of the doubt. Just because you're wealtheir than them doesn't mean that they're going to flip out and start cutting themselves. Would you act that way if you were invited to Bill Gate's mansion?
Reply:how should they act at your house? put on white gloves, stand at attention and only move when 'simon says'? get real. if your friends feel bad about your family's wealth, then the next time you invite them over, they should just say no thanks...but you should still invite them. duh. there's more to life than money (even though it helps)
Reply:wealth comes in many forms... financial... emotional... spiritual... so your question seems a little shallow... probably easier for them to come to your house then for you to go over to their house and start judging them...





they will "ACT" fine....until they find out how shallow u are...
Reply:Actually by you inviting them could make them feel very good about themselves and once they see what you have that could make them realize that they could have the same things.
Reply:I think they won't be depressed because they like the way they live if they are still living in above average conditions. They will be more impressed I think than depressed. They will probably also want to come over more.
Reply:Are you kidding? I'm surprised anyone is your friend at all if you look down at them this way.


"Will they know how to act in my house?" Hell, you don't know how to act with other people. I suggest you don't invite anyone before you learn how to be human and not a snotty kid who thinks he is better than others because his parents have more money.
Reply:i not poor or any thing and i totaly invite my pooer friends over i do not think of it that way
Reply:I agree with the others you did sound extremely stuck up and if you needed to post this Q on the internet chances are you wanted to brag but in all honesty if you think you're friends are so hard up that you have to invite them as charity cases to your house then you might as well chill by yourself My parents have provided a lot for me but that doesn't mean I can look down on people who have less than me everyone is the same in my book what you have doesn't make you who you are You are not your money
Reply:My current boyfriend grew up in the poor house and was the happiest guy in the world. Though I am sure your intentions of not hurting their feelings are sincere, it would be an insult to them to not invite them over because of their economic status. Most people aren't impressed with material things and you may be surprised that their feelings aren't hurt at all and chances are they won't feel bad about themselves at all! If they are friends of yours, it probably isn't a secret how wealthy you are and if they are true friends they will just act themselves in your house.
Reply:I don't think I would ever want you for a friend
Reply:People are people and true friends would not be jealous. As long as you don't show off or put your friends down, I'm sure they'd love to visit your house and that you'd go to theirs. Not a big deal. Just stay real!
Reply:I think if your friends respect you they will in turn be respectful in your home. It may also be considered disrespectful if you don't think they are worthy of the invitation. Are YOU worthy of their respect?





good luck
Reply:If they are your friends they will appreciate the hospitality that you show to them by sharing some of the fruits of your good fortune.


I never felt bad or depressed when I went to a wealthy friends home. I felt happy for them for the blessings they received for their hard work.
Reply:Well I wouldn't say they are your friends if your talking about them this way. Will they know how to act at your house ??? If you dont even know if they can "act right" then why are they your friends ? Chances are they wont feel bad about themselves. Your the one who looks down on them.
Reply:oh you are such a snob. Is your name Brandon Davis? He is the jerk who called Lindsey Lohan poor because she "only" has 7 million dollars and she had to "work for it!"
Reply:Okay so what's the point of inviting them over if your living better than they are.Sometimes that piss me off,when one of my friends know that they're living a better life than I am,and they invite me over just to see my reaction,and it sometimes gets me jealous.But like they say ,the more things you have the more problems you create.So good-luck.
Reply:Sorry but you are stuck up..welcome to humiliation road..Your motives for inviting them is one of disgust..Money does not give you or your family the right to sit in judgement of people for their financial standards..Just how do you act at your house?Hmmm..
Reply:You have nothing, remember that, it's all your parents work that made your life comfortable. you can't even spell or use a spell checker so I don't think you have earned anything. you are borrowing snotty from your parents.
Reply:well sorry u did sound stuck up.. regardless of how ur income is ur friends are ur friends they shouldnt care how u live and it wouldnt make them feel bad as long as u dont throw it in their face that u think u r better than them bec money isnt everything.. pass some of that fortune my way we could really use it ;)
Reply:The only thing they will feel depressed about is the time they wasted believing you were their friend. We are all just one paycheck short of being poor...well, those of us who earn an honest living. Most of us weren't born with a silver spoon stuck up our....whoops...in our mouths.
Reply:what makes u so sure that they will feel bad abour themselves or become depressed. never assume anything about others u wouldnt want them to assume about u. and u failed at ur goal of "not to sound stuck up".
Reply:When you are poor. You have more than a millionaire. You have the ability to struggle for what you want and know the value of a dollar. You look at the things you have as blessings and not as objects. You have such a different out look on life that a person with lots of money doesn't have. When you have money you don't care about cost, or the value. You put what you can buy if front the important things you have that did not cost you a thing...... They will be find. Never consider them poor. They have all they ever need....
