Money is like a place or a job: move from A to B and you will always leave behind all but a couple of your "friends" because basically all they were was convenient acquaintances. That's fine, but if the comment I quoted is really how you feel, then you need to come to better terms with having money. Sneering at the things your old friends do and the gestures they make shows you in a bad light, not them.

And bear in mind that any fool can spend money. If you start moving among people who have had money long enough to be used to it, you are going to come across as an obnoxious prat if you act as if having money makes you special in any way.
