My rich friend is starting to annoy me?

I'm 19 and live with my parents in a middle class neighborhood. I, by no means have it hard, but also don't have it extremely well. Me and my bestie have had a rocky relationship. I consider myself to be a very hardworking person (immediately got a job at 16, saver not a spender, attend college, do things around the house without parents asking me to, etc). I'm a full time college student and also work 35 hrs a week. My friend just has it so easy. Her dad bought her a brand new Ford F-150 (doesn't pay car note or insurance), gets $300 and $600 prom dresses (junior and senior year), brand new MacBook, Everything she wants she gets. They live in the same general area as me but i don't know where her dad gets all this money to buy everything they want. She got a job and complains when she only works 15 hrs a week. Her mom lives in Germany and so does her little sister(12). Now that her sister is in the US visiting, their dad bought her a new iPhone 8+. My best friend Facetime's me upset that her dad did this for her little sister. She claims she's mad because her sister hasn't done anything to deserve the new phone. I tell my bestfriend "well what have you done to deserve everything you get from your dad" and she responds "I get good grades and do things around the house". I laughed in her face and now she's mad at me but I don't even care because I'm just irritated with her flaunting everything she gets in my face and her thinking she's better than me. What would I do?

"What would I do?" About what? I have no clue what you're asking.

Your friend's dad can do whatever he wants with HIS money. Stop blaming her for your jealousy. It's off-putting.

Thats you. Thats not her… This is why its hard for rich and poor to get along. Too much envy.

Honestly how does she flaunt it?

I mean you have to understand when you're friend with someone with a different lifestyle they function differently. Your parents probably made you help out since you were a child which developed your work ethic. She may have been pampered and the her father was like, "I want you to get a job".

Her sister probably gets a lot from her mother, so when the sister gets something from the father too, it upsets your friend. You friend probably feels like she lost her mom. She probably feels she works harder and deserves more than her sister. Aka she feels for her sister what you feel about her.

Honestly it sounds like this friendship is too much for you. You can't help but compare. You know the price of everything she has. And you see all your problems as worse than hers. Some people aren't mature enough to be friends with someone wealthier than them. I say, learn from her, and her father, and their lifestyle.

It's made by GREE, I've signed up and stuff, but whenever I open the app, it just won't start. It stays as a blank page. I've tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it multiple times - Nothing.
