I could never understand how my friend could buy all the things that she could. About six years ago, she was moaning about the fact that she wasn't managing financially. I said to her that she had just bought a house cash, so I found that difficult to believe.

She then told me that her parents had bought it for her. I said, "Oh so that's how you managed to have all those things throughout the years."

She said, "That's why I never told you. I knew you would say that."
