Default Weird social situation

I'm 24. I live in a really nice 1 bedroom apartment in downtown chicago. Most of my friends of a similar age are poor. I kinda feel a bit weird having them round, but its not too bad. I have a few older friends, established, respectable careers. Ive never had any of them over. Some know I play poker, some dont. None of them have any idea that Ive actually made lots of money. Ive been to their places, and mine is way way nicer.

I feel awkward at the idea of having them round, showing this relative opulence, which I kinda dont deserve, when they are older than me and probably deserve it more. Is this strange? What should I do about it?

You really should get over feeling like someone "deserves" something more than you just because they're older and/or have chose a more traditional career. Invite them over, see what happens.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

money sucks, doesn't it?

i mean - this is an honest question - why did you buy/rent the particular apartment you did? because you wanted nice things, right?
