My friend is hosting a housewarming party tonight at her new house and invited a bunch of us who have been friends with each other for years. However, about half of us arent going while the other half is going. I am the latter half who is going.
The reason for this is cuz my friend is from an extremely wealthy family and her parents bought her a brand new house after she proved herself by working at a steady job for a year. They told her that if she proved to be responsible by holding down a job for a year, they would buy her a house. Been a year so they bought her this house so this will be my first time seeing it. I am happy for her..however, the half of the group who refuses to go tonight arent. They think since she didnt work hard for the house, she shouldnt be hosting a housewarming party. They think that she is flaunting her wealthy lineage. In my opinion, I dont think she is cuz she has never made a big deal about her wealth and has always been humble and down to earth in the 6 years I have known her. Now, some of my friends have been emailing me and other friends saying that they think we am supporting Elism by going and dont respect our decisions of going. Come on! I think it is petty and immature.
What do u think? Should someone be proud of a house even though he/she never worked hard for it?
