I've been mates with a gang of six blokes since school. We see each other a couple of times a week, celebrate birthdays and go on holiday together.

My salary is OK. However, the others are much flusher than me. I suspect one fella may have won some money or been left an inheritance because he's got so much dosh to fling about.
