There's a saying that wealth attracts wealth and this kind of situation is the best time to apply it. When you have friends that are doing well, you ought to fake it to fit in the circle and hope to benefit from opportunity that might come any moment. If you looked pity in their midst, they will only see you as a liability and you'll lose being part of the squad.
Is not right because you could land were you will have to work to pay the debt you have acquired through pretending to have the money do not, there is actually a lot it will cost someone to fully convinced another rich person to believe you are the same like him because what if the person takes you to a place were you could have fun that the your money could not cover, would you also lie to convince the person that you have the money but could not make the payment?, is actually obvious that at some point the pretender will definitely get cut and when it does you have broken all level of trust the person have on you so actually coming sincere about yourself is the better way of attracting help from him because if truly he is there for your sake definitely you will get all the help from him.
