I decided to leave the class group after witnessing the actions of my former classmates.
My name is Ly Vu Hien, it has been 12 years since I graduated from university. Thanks to hard work and luck, I have succeeded in the field of information technology and opened my own company.
I earn 75,000 yuan (~261 million VND) every month. Despite my high income, I still live very simply and learn to enjoy small joys every day.
When people know my income, they will express jealousy and admiration. But they do not know that to get this job, I had to make many sacrifices. I had to give up the city where I grew up, accept giving up many joys of youth and watch relationships gradually become distant.
At the age of nearly 35, after a long journey, I regretfully look back at the things I have lost, especially the relationships with people around me. That is why, during my visit to my hometown a few days ago, I accepted an invitation to a reunion from my old classmates at university.
I had not seen them for many years and was surprised to see how much they had grown. We greeted each other warmly and shared details about our lives.
Among my classmates, I was impressed by Vuong Lam - a friend who used to be very close to me. During our conversation, Vuong Lam suddenly turned to me and asked: "Vu Hien, your life seems to be going well now. How much salary do you earn?"
I was a little surprised, not understanding why she asked me this question. I quickly replied: "Oh, my salary is only 3,000 yuan (~10 million VND)."

To be honest, I wanted to hide my salary because I was afraid of creating a distance between me and my other classmates. Besides, I always thought that showing off my salary in public was not a good thing.
After hearing my answer, Wang Lin just smiled and then changed the subject. After the party, when I returned home, I discovered that not only Wang Lin but many other classmates had unfriended me on social media.
I began to wonder if I had offended you with my salary. But I really did not expect that such a small thing would become a hindrance to our friendship.
Later, I found out that Vuong Lam had unfriended all his classmates whose salaries were under 6,000 yuan (~20 million VND).
I think in Wang Lin's opinion, friends with a salary below 6,000 yuan are not worthy of communicating with her.
And not only Vuong Lam but perhaps many other students also only choose to communicate with students whose salaries and jobs are commensurate with theirs.

Coming back from the reunion, I was really a little speechless. Isn't the friendship between people who studied together priceless? Why should salary affect our friendship?
Through this experience, I have officially withdrawn from the class groups. Although money plays an important role in life, it should not be the standard to judge others.
In this realistic society, friendship and sincerity should be considered as top priorities. Money certainly has its importance, but it should not be an obstacle to our relationships.
That's why, with friends who only value material things to evaluate human relationships, I'm determined not to maintain feelings for them.
