You should never have spoken about your income or shown ostentatious purchases. Your problem is of own doing and is also related to the people you consort with.

Hey, could soften this a bit - came across a little rude

Dude came in and showed off to us just like he did to the people around him. It's no wonder that he gets asked for money.

What’s a better way for a wealthy user here to vent so they don’t seem like they’re bragging?

This I can agree with. Started when I found out a friends wife needed surgery (not life threatening, but would remove a cronic pain from her life and she could start working again, big QoL improvement). They couldnt afford the upfront payments, so they were going to not going to do it. So I forwarded him the money so she could have it done, hes been good about paying me back, it is very very slow, but hes working at it so no worries. Wife mentioned to her/our friends how I helped, and it just went from there.

I should have known better and just let her suffer.
