I really can't through this advice for #1.
Feeling better about yourself at the expense of others is not good advice. It's the same shit that her friend did to her. Pointing out that some women's breast will get "saggy" and "look bad in a tank top" is just body shaming any other women who don't happen to have perky

She went on an insufferable, entitled rant about how everyone can afford to travel, they just choose to spend their money frivolously

Ugh, THIS.

I wrote a similar reply just now and, I agree.

What about friends who are well off who always suggest expensive restaurants when we make plans, knowing very well that I pretty much always have money trouble...

LW1 I hate to be the one to tell you but your boyfriend and his friend probably used to administer blowjobs to each other when they hit puberty. Apparently lots of teen boys experiment with each other and sometimes this lasts into early 20s. When one gets a stable girlfriend he tends to stop but the other might not be
