[quote=Anonymous]I've been on both sides regarding money and friendships.

I have drifted from a good friend because of it. While home renovations and vacations didn't bother me, we couldn't afford to go on vacation with them anymore or even out to dinner. They needed the house ON the beach and they grew to be above going to just a diner for lunch. The house that's "only" $400 a night per family or lunch that will "only" he a $50 pre fixe just wasn't happening. Which is fine for me but they wouldn't come down to my level on it. They chose to go with their friends who would afford it rather than pick another location.

I like to think that I'm careful when I'm on the other side of things. I don't shy away from talking about what we are doing in terms of travel or kids activities, but when I know there's a difference in how we handle things I never touch upon cost and I acknowledge that we are lucky for what we have.

Money doesn't mean the end of a friendship; treating people like they're below you, and jealousy does.[/quote]
