When Money Gets Weird in Friendships: Navigating Income Gaps Without Losing Each Other

Say “yes” to things they can’t afford
How income differences can quietly create distance
The emotional weight of feeling embarrassed, judged, or left out
What happens when someone pays for everything—and why it can backfire
