I really hope that didn't come off like I was actively criticizing you or anything. That is not the thing that I was trying to do. I was more just making a terrible joke at my own expense. I am extremely glad that you were able to get out of that though. Considering I have also been in extremely similar circumstances, if not the same circumstances at the moment, then yeah, I can really appreciate actually being able to get out of that situation because it's what I want to be able to do. So I have nothing but all of the love for you, my friend, that you were able to get there. No jealousy. I hope you have a great day.

Same to you, dude!

I did not feel criticized at all. I just, for some reason, felt this need to justify that I had money. By, like, somehow proving that I was worth it or something.

It's really weird and that's not on you. That's definitely a me thing.

Nah I get it and can relate to that too actually. Still just wanted to apologize for my part in making you feel that way. I love you man <3
