(Mobile, sorry. Throwaway because friend knows my main) 

As baity as this title may sound, I did not tell my friend how i felt. I feel like I might though, since it’s not going to stop anytime soon. 

We were having dinner at my friend’s house. We were having a chat with another friend and out came the subject of money problems. 

As a background, My family is not in a “good” position monetarily. I split my bills with my brother and our mother lives alone. She works a lot and has nothing to her name. She’s nearing 60 and not retiring any time soon. She refuses help from us.  My father is very poor, lives in another country and is very sick. I consider myself lucky that i can still get myself “luxuries” like my pet bird. 

She complained that her father didn’t work. (He lost his job) Her mother paid all the bills. (She lives with her parents). She was worried and complained that money was tight. Their window had to be replaced since it was getting old, the oven was old too. She was angry that because of her father they wouldn’t be able to have their trip to europe as they wished, since they’d have to pay for him.   
She also said that her parents were getting bored of their cottage house and they were thinking of building another one, but she complained that they didn’t have enough money and would have to sell the old one. 
The whole monologue was a very “woe is me” vibe, and it made my heart sink.  
I told her she was lucky to be able to worry about such things, and to feel grateful that she had such a nice life. 
She kept complaining. 

This happens rather often. I’m getting pretty tired of hearing it. 
WIBTA if i told her how i felt?
