Maybe the friend worked hard & saved up to afford a nice comfortable personal space & kept her priorities in check to maintain said home even if it meant she couldn't afford to go out with the girls on the regular. Or she can't afford to maintain the new place & go out with the girls until she could do both comfortably. Ain't no shame in that.
Not impressive a place can be more well decorative And those do degraded work they can manage to steal ... As criminals always lie n possible suddenly they got a treasure out of an island
