I was in the same situation while growing up. I would typically go to my friend's house to hang out. Once I trusted my friends enough, I let them come to my house. I waited until I trusted them enough because I wanted to be sure that they would not judge me.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. However, if you can't let go of embarrassment, then utilize the embarrassment as the fuel to work insanely hard & smart to get rich. But remember that there will always be someone richer than you at some point in life, and there is no guarantee that you will get rich even after working hard & smart. So, contentment is the best wealth. Advance without being attached to outcome! Keep trying for a richer tomorrow, but at the same time remain contented with what you have today!

Don't judge yourself or your family for having less money than your friends. Be glad for the things you have. Love is a priceless treasure. Money is worthless compared to the infinite wealth of love and happiness.

You should accept the fact and don't worry about it because that doesn't make you different from other people!

You should still be proud because your family still exists, while some don't have a complete one. Be proud of your family, they are the reason why you are alive.

Please, don't be embarrassed. Your family doesn't have to have money like your friends. It does not define you or your family.

You shouldn't embarrassed by your family. Just be confident in yourself and don't let money define who you are. If your friends are the ones that don't want to hang out with you just because of money, you clearly don't need them in life.

Once I thought to myself "Does money matter that much?" "Does not having as many things as X, make me inferior?" It doesn't your social status does not define you

Don't put too much importance in the value of money. Material things are nothing compared to the love of your family. Don't be ashamed of what you do/don't have. Your friends are people who should understand that. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.

I've found that loving and being proud of your family personally causes others to follow your lead. If you show no shame when around your family, and have no shame when your income is brought up, then others will likely respect your way of life. Sometimes people are pretentious about how much money you have, but it literally means nothing and reflects nothing on your character or your parents (especially yours, since you had no choice to be born into a richer family). Sometimes the poorest people are the ones with the highest character, so don't let the expectations of your friends stop you from being proud of your family!
