[quote=Anonymous]My DH and my income level has changed a lot in the last few years (down, up, down, nad now slowly going back up), so for awhile we were the friends on a different level.  I understand the discomfort.  People talk about money in such a different way - it can be like you are from two different worlds.  Like when I offered our friends coffee (aka -  make in our coffee maker) and they said "great, want me to run out to Starbucks and get some).  They almost seemed amazed that I could make it at home (or that i would drink "coffee maker" coffee).

But as long as this other familiy is not talking down to you, I wouldn't let it stop you from being friends.  Just feel free to speak up if the friendship leads you to start spending more money than you can afford (aka - she starts s uggesting activities that cost a lot of money)

When she talks about thinks like "flying private",  heck I'd say "that sound great" and ask for stories.  And then entertain her with tales of public flying.[/quote]
