When a Friend Claims Financial Struggles but Splurges on a Lavish Present

My friend’s birthday was coming up, and my girls and I decided to buy a cool gift for her together.

But one of our friends, Kate, suddenly said that she had financial problems, and she would give only half of the amount.

Well, we thought, it happens. And then at the party, we were surprised to see Kate giving our friend an expensive bracelet as her gift.

So, I’m sitting there thinking what it was all about. It’s a bit deceitful, isn’t it? Or has her financial situation suddenly improved?
