Help, my best friend is becoming materialistic

deleted_user
I have a best friend that has to always show me what she has bought whether it is a new wig,clothes, or jewelry and mention the cost or brand. I am in no way jealous of her in no shape or form. It is just she becoming quite an annoyance. I mean I make good money and have nice things too but it seems she wants to make sure someone acknowledges her. When we go out to party she always has to try to show me what she bought that day, and it always is while I am driving. Literally if she wants me to see her new boots she will lift up her foot and try to shove it in my face. Oh let me not forget to mention she has a habit of always mentioning how much money she has in her account and she even goes as far as to show me her atm receipts. I love her as a sister but she is so materialistic now. I say now because she was not like this a year ago. A year ago she was in a relationship with her kids father. They lived together but up out of the blue he told her he was moving out and taking their three kids with him to Texas. She let him take the kids and every since she has been this way. It is really driving me crazy I cant even have a conversation with her over the phone without her mentioning a brand of clothing she has bought. I dont understand it, can my friendship ultimately end because she is this materialistic?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good luck!
I believe in living in a world of gratitude where boasting has no place. We certainly are NOT what we own. How sad if one believes that because if you strip them of "things" what is left? Less is more so often.
I agree with the others. I think your friend is feeding some very unhealthy void. So sad. I will send up a prayer for her.
