That doesn't really work when you're driving about in a porsche with a $5000 suit and a rolex submariner, does it?
You can't hide your wealth from people around you unless you act like someone without money. No clothes, no car, no eating out, no holidays.. What's the point in that?
You can't have friends that have significantly less money than you. It doesn't work unless you're willing to pay for them. What happens when you want to go into town for some browsing around the shops? Will you want to look at the same stuff? Nope
What about when you're going out for a meal? They won't be able to join you. Going on holiday? They also won't be able to join you.
Money creates a divide between friends unfortunately. Even if you had friends that didn't take advantage of you paying for everything, eventually they would come to expect you to pay. That would just feel not right and create a strange relationship.
You need friends who are making similar levels of money to you. Or at least who can afford the same lifestyle.
There's not much difference between someone making $1k/day and someone making $10k/day though. Once you reach a certain level, unless the person making $10k/day is extreme you'll be doing similar things.
But someone making $1k/day won't be able to maintain relationships with friends making $100/day.
Even the things people talk about. Most people moan about work, their boss, their colleagues, the price of electricity, the price of fuel and so on. People making $1k/day don't care about any of these things and they certainly wouldn't spend their time moaning about them. At $1k/day you're more interested in talking about business, the economy, nice restaurants, cool places to visit, general positive stuff going on in the world that you can now take part in.
So really the solution if you're finding people around you acting weird is to just do yourself a favor and make new friends.
