'My friend said I owe her half my inheritance': Woman insists newly-rich friend share money, then blocks them when they refuse

When you come into a windfall of money, you'll discover who your real friends are. I hope this problem happens to me someday — I can handle it! In all seriousness, though, so many people struggle with money issues that when a close family member or friend inherits thousands, they think they deserve some of that cash. That jealousy can really eat away at a person.

When you're working 60 hours a week and barely able to feed your family or keep the lights on, you might be infuriated to see a close friend start dropping money on designer clothes or a fancy new car. The broke friend wonders where their newly rich friend gets the audacity to flaunt their wealth. But it is their money, and they don't owe it to anyone else. That's why some lotto winners hide their identity… everyone around them thinks they deserve a piece of the pie, and they can get awfully impolite when they're turned down.

It's unfortunate that the friendship ended this way. Some people just can't appreciate that other people's money doesn't belong to them. This person is clearly hurting, but it's odd that she felt entitled to literally half of her friend's cash infusion. Like… why did she think that just being poor was a good reason to insist on that much money?
