Nice Life
Have you ever heard the term “dress the part”? There’s such a thing called acting the part as well. The social aspect is a benefit of working, but not the primary reason most people work. Working can be a great way to make friends, but most people really show up to get paid.
This person didn’t need the salary, just the social aspect of working. Lucky her. But she didn’t do a good job of acting like she needed the salary. Aligning yourself with similar experiences as your coworkers is a great way to make friends. Instead, she foolishly implied her wealth when she learned about theirs.
