Lots of people assume that if it is not manual labor then it is not a real job. Or if you do not go somewhere like an office and clock in again it is not a real job. The majority of the time they will never get it. They do not understand what you do and therefore what you do is "easy" in their minds.
There will always be a great number of people who do not have the motivation to improve their lives. You can hand these types of people a step by step manual that guarantees them a better lifestyle and they still will not follow through and do it. (these people also exist in this industry already)
Seeing that you get grief just from a handful of your friends that blew their own money, they are more than likely the issue and problem. Good chance they are bitter and resentful of your success. At the same time when they call you chintzy and so on, remember they did blow through their money so maybe you will understand how.
The humorous part is they inherited money and think you are lazy. That often is an issue with those that have it easy from the start of life. They never really had to work for anything to start with. They already wasted a good chance to remain ahead of the game and were tossed back to the end of the line by bad choices they already made.
I do however think you are lucky that you still have 25-30 friends that you grew up with that are still around. For that I envy you.
