Rich Friend vs. Poor Friend
Money changes more than just bank accounts — it can reshape relationships, too. A shift in socioeconomic status can sometimes strain friendships and family ties in ways that aren’t always fair or even true. If a relationship truly matters to you, open and honest conversations are key.

That is heartbreaking. Money is a tool that enhances things
I think the person who has more money needs to be the one to suggest outings that are less expensive and within everyone’s budget. If you’re rich on the DL, no one would know. But of course that means you have to not post your wealth on social media and draw attention to it, which is impossible for many.
Sometimes it’s the friends and not the rich person suggesting fancy things or expecting the rich friend to pay because they have it. I’ve watched it happen.
@@majarobert I agree but it gets a bit more complex. Beyond ridiculous behaviours like instagram private jets etc, most people experience a level of subtle lifestyle creep over time and don’t tend to notice it. Like they buy a house in a nicer neighbourhood or start eating out more. I am the “poorest” of most of my friends because I dropped out of the corporate world to be a social worker. I can afford to do most things but not all and not always with the same frequency as some friends. But I don’t feel excluded and will sometimes host at home or they will instead of going out etc.
@@lj9578 totally true
If you have good friends go places on everyone’s budget and be willing to subsidize more expensive outings. If they take advantage of that, they are not a good friend
