[QUOTE="DDD, post: 602387, member: 35"] Don't freak out. Jumper understands that not all friends are on a level playing field socially, racially or economically. Life is an itch but I believe she gets it. If you truly need her to contribute...say so. It seems quite obvious that she can not afford an outing to Mexico BUT it really doesn't matter. She likely already "gets" that you guys are not wealthy and also that some people are. If you honestly believe that she doesn't "get it" then now is the time to have a talk. If she wants the "finer" things in life then she needs to save up for college and opt for a career that will allow her those things. I, personally, grew up in a family that could afford many things and I truly didn't realize how blessed I was until I ended up as a young wife and Mom scraping money for diapers. Don't get involved. She is a self achiever and if you believe she needs guidance...give it without apology. She is blessed to have a loving family regardless of the economic limitations. DDD [/QUOTE]
