#21 When Your Friend Blocks You Because You Didn’t Give Her Money After Your Mom Passed Away
It also helps to be upfront when something genuinely does not fit your budget. Farley says friends are unlikely to see someone as cheap simply because they cannot afford an expensive restaurant or trip.
Saying so ahead of time gives everyone a chance to make different plans. You might suggest somewhere more affordable or simply skip an outing that would leave you struggling financially.
At the end of the day, nobody should put themselves into financial trouble just to keep their friends happy.
Still, friendships involve some amount of give and take. Saving a few dollars probably will not feel like much of a victory if it regularly leaves the people closest to you feeling used or unappreciated.
Being careful with money is smart. Just make sure your savings are not coming at the expense of your friendships.
