I have a friend who says that alot.

I mean i'm working towards financial freedom and truly am interested when people talk about finances and real estate. Not surprisingly other friends are as well and different subjects revolving around money often come up in our conversations (alcohol-fueled or not).

Then there's my friend. He works 9 to 5 and isn't unionised. He seems to automatically disconnect as soon as money is in the conversation. He often mentions how "you don't need to be a millionnaire in life" and "Money doesn't bring you happiness"

Well no shit. But i can guarantee you I'll get my financial freedom and I won't live from paycheck to paycheck til i'm 65.

Sometimes I feel like he expected me to never accomplish anything in life and is trying to dissuade me from pursuing wealth and financial freedom.

I'm not perticularly successful but considering I'm a full time student and that I make more than any one of my friends, it might piss him off a bit.

My question is this: Do you have childhood friends with whom similar situations have emerged? Do some of the people you know try to dissuade you from working harder to make money?
