My friend has enough money to travel the world?

First off, I once told her I'd love to travel..and now I feel shes just showing off by posting photos from her Iphone all over facebook.

3 years ago, she had no money and was near broke and now, this. So far just by looking at her albums, shes been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Russia, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Australia. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Her parents she doesn't talk to anymore so they can't be giving her any money and his side is poor.

Tell me, how the heck is this possible?
Shes a freelance graphic designer. 4 yrs back she told me she was only making enough to scrape by about $400.00-500.00 a week. How the heck did she get all this money? I know her boyfriend works as a manager at a computer store down the corner.. I have no idea how much he makes but he just started last year so it can't be much.

How can she afford this and IIN? I can't even leave my state!!! She's such a greedy person. I make $35,000 a yr and I can't afford to go on a vacation for even 1 week!

    Lol, using your logic 80% of the world is greedy for spending money that they earned on themselves. It's her money she can do what she wants with it.

    She's a graphic designer so she photoshopped all her selfies.

    Also, I do think that jealousy has played a large part in clouding your view on her affairs.

    You need to have a more open view if you are to properly approach this.

    1. She might have invested in stocks.
    2. She might have inherited money.
    3. She could have landed herself a higher paying job in the field.
    4. She frugal, which is a good thing to be, especially in tricky economies.
    5. I find this one to be the least likely: She's lying.
    6. Lets say that she has landing herself a higher paying job. The company she works for could be sending her to do work in other countries, Some companies even give their workers holidays.
    7. She could be a dominatrix. It is a high paying occupation and I have heard of many females in college resorting to this because they are having money issues.

    She probably saved enough money to go on a trip. While there, met some people, learned some tips. They probably told her how they are able to travel so cheap so once she started, she just kept going.

    Or, as someone else said, she is just backpacking. Which can be cheap if you plan right.

    She could also be working as an international flight stewardess. I have heard of people doing this.

    Or she could be working as an English teacher in various countries. I know two people who have done this. They get an apartment supplied by the school, a paycheck, and a 3-month contract. I know someone who lived 5 years using this method and another who did it for 2 years in Japan.

    Unless she is sporting expensive luggage, extravagantly shopping, and taking 1st class flights and 5-star hotels-- she is just travelling cheap and found a way to do it that is working. If she is going all out luxe; then yeah, I'd say she is getting some serious cash from somewhere. But, this simply does not sound like the case.

    If you have always wanted to travel and you see that this girl is doing that; obviously you don't want to ask her how she is doing it. Because that is a form of flattery and It does not appear you like her. So, I would just look online for forums or user groups for people who successfully plan and execute cheap international trips. Take some of their experience from their tips and benefit from it without having to learn the hard way.

    Afterwards, post your own photos on facebook. Don't worry about that girl; you've got your own memories to make.

    It's her money and she can do whatever she wants with it. Get over your jealousy and move on.
