How do you talk about life to friends without being accused of humblebragging? I have a hard time figuring out where I start being a douchebag and where my friends start being jealous.
For example, I'm going to Disneyland Paris as part of a family vacation & visit to see some friends as part of my dad's 60th birthday later this year. I asked my close group if they had been to another Disneyland before and what they liked (knowing at least two had been to one), and got absolutely ripped on for "humblebragging" that I could afford to travel when they struggle to make rent.
I work hard, but my parents are reasonably well off, so I feel like I can never work hard enough. I'm sleeping on a couch for like 60% of this trip.
Do I just keep quiet about everything that isn't poverty?
sounds like your friends are jealous dude

I don't think that's humble bragging
Look up examples of humble bragging if you need to see what exactly that entails
Tbh humble bragging is like a meme phrase anyway I've been accused of it, and I don't boast about anything I do at all

Just don't talk about yourself.
That's not humblebragging. Humblebragging is shit like "completely ruined my favourite jeans rescuing a cat from a tree." What you said is a perfectly normal thing to ask, you were just asking for travel advice.
Take it from me though: just don't mention anything about money around friends who struggle with it. It sucks that they're making you feel guilty about not being broke but there's really nothing you can do without making it sound like you're on your high horse, I know from experience.

Get better friends, I guess.
First off, I don't think your friends understand what humblebragging even IS. "Just got back from Disneyland Paris and I'm absolutely exhausted. I guess just don't have as much energy for that stuff as I did as a kid." THAT would be humblebragging, and kind of obnoxious. If anything, what you said would just have been plain old BRAGGING.
Except not really, because it's a reasonable thing to talk about, and it's not your fault at all that they're insecure about not having money. You didn't do anything wrong.
