5 months ago she was poor and pulling in 30,000 a year and living in an apartment with 2 jobs. She just started dating someone new about 3 months ago. I spoke to her this morning, and she’s buying a
$790 000.00 home she’s got a 200,000 down payment on her own she’s managed to save 40,000 dollars in 3 months, she’s a sales assistant for a cleaning company and her boyfriend is a roofer. Oh and I forgot to mention their getting married next year. (They’ve been together 3 months). We’re in september and she says she is going to “get” the house by february. Does it really take 5 months to finalize the sale of a home? After you’ve put in the offer?
Now if all this was true I’d be very very happy for her, but something is telling me that she’s lying to me or trying to make me jealous….which to be honest with you if she climbed that fast in 3-4 months I am jealous cause i’d like to know her secret.
I just feel like a guppy, on some level i would love to believe her but the story doesn’t stick with me…..Especially because 4 months ago she couldn’t even afford a pack of cigarettes



She doesn’t sound like a true friend.
be happy with you, go outside and enjoy the sun.
She is definitely lying about saving $40k in 3 months, let alone $200k. The numbers just do NOT add up.
An assistant and a roofer buying an $800k home? Maybe 4 years ago with sub-prime, but not now!
NO WAY!
I know the mortgage industry and I can tell you that there is no way she would get approved for that large of a mortgage with her salary.
To play devils advocate, maybe she was given the money by her family or his family. Who knows.
But at the end of the day, who cares what she has? Bigger houses and more money does not make for bigger joy in life.
Be happy with yourself. Her secret is being a liar.
Does it really matter if you believe her? If she was such a great friend, she wouldn’t lie to you and she would have kept in contact the last 5 months.
maybe things have changed for her just be happy for her, jealousy is a really nasty emotion and it can make you very bitter and if she’s lying well then that’s her problem good LUck :
“Normal” people would be happy for their friend, not jealous of someone they call Friend getting out of financial trouble. You wouldn’t “love to believe her” because in your heart of hearts you wish her ill and are terribly, terribly jealous.
A relative may have died and left her/them $$, or his family may be rich. You didn’t care enough to call her for five months, keep your negativity to and for yourself and don’t rain on your “friend’s” parade for having some good fortune smile upon her.
I’m guessing you are a single gal stuck in a dead-end job who couldn’t be happy for anyone else no matter what the circumstances.
You are seriously messed up, hon.
