Woman Blasted Online for Laughing at Friend Who ‘Wasted’ Her Inheritance

A woman on Reddit was slammed online after admitting she told her friend she "wasted" her inheritance.

"My friend of about 17 years, Delilah, had a very problematic childhood. She barely went to school because her only parent was addicted to substances among many other problems. I don't know how she slipped through the system for so long but she was pretty much a lost cause by high school because of how little discipline she had," she began.

Delilah's dad died when she was just 23, and she inherited a "somewhat large sum of money," shortly after which she decided to go to college.

"I guess she learned to love learning and had so many interests she never knew about that she went to several schools in most of her 20s and came out with several degrees," the woman continued.

"I've held my tongue on her wasting so much money on school. I guess if it was my money I'd want to save it or explore then get a degree, not go head first. She has six degrees and to me it's just silly. The real kicker is my husband is an engineer and makes more than she does, despite all her side jobs and projects," she added.

Recently, Delilah mentioned how she wants to study history and take a few classes online.

"I laughed and asked if any of her inheritance was still even left. She said that shouldn't be my concern. I admitted it was ridiculous, she could have just bought a nice house with that money, instead of blowing it on degrees that she doesn't even use," the woman recalled.

"She told me all her degrees served a purpose, she loves what she does now and loves learning because she was deprived of it as a child. She told me she wasn't going to defend herself to someone who did not grow up in a similar situation. My husband told her to calm down," she shared, adding that things are now "awkward" and she isn't sure if she should apologize or not.

Users in the comments obliterated the woman for being judgmental toward her friend.

"You sound incredibly jealous. I wonder if all this hate and jealousy is stemming from the fact you didn't get to attend school after high school. You said your husband makes more money than her and not you, so my question is are YOU making more money than her?" one person asked.

"Like she said, how she spends her money is none of your concern. Feel how you want, but keep it to yourself. Also, why feel a need to point out that your husband makes more money than her? Does that matter?" another questioned.

"Maybe her end goal is learning, not making money. Money is not the end all, be all. Anyway, it's her inheritance, her choice, and you were unkind in your judgment," someone else commented.

"I don’t know why you feel entitled to have a say on how she spends her money. It’s her money. She could gamble on the stock market, or blow it all in one glorious day at Dave & Buster's, and it’d still be none of your business," another user weighed in.
