[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not that wealthy stick with wealthy alone. Its also every other strata. Wht not??! I'm not socializing outside my budget. Not paying.   But would i be friends with anyone in any strata?  Absolutely.  I'm old enough to be able to distinguish between 'Friends' and 'Socializing'.  You have to remember way back when people understood that there is a right to be friends with anyone but not a right to socialize what you cannot reciprocate.  If times have changed,  let me know.[/quote]

What a warped view of friendship. So if I don't have a private yacht I can't be your friend because can't reciprocate?[/quote]

Hello, do you read that I said "I would be friends with anyone. Absolutely. ".  I think you can see that right above.  Ehat i said therafter is that I cannot socialize with the jet set or country club crowd if it's not in my budget, and I don't expect my friends to pay for my socializing. Yes, they can be my friends, but that doesn't mean I can afford $$$ to socialize with them.  Same for folks below my economics, ehich are few because I'm dirt poor these days, yes we are friends but no I cannot afford to take them to the movies.

Not sure why the backlash unless you folks are kneejerk criticizing before you even read the statement or unless you are reading something else into it that is not there, but I though I was writing quite plainly and clearly.  Whatever the miscommunication,  let's clear it up.

Refreshingly to the point. I agree with you as I am probably in the same boat. I can be friends with anybody and wish there were more intellectual conversation going on. Unfortunately it seems to truly socialize you need $$$.
