[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally understand your question. Absolutely you can be friends. [b]The challenge comes when she wants to do things and go places that are way outside your budget. Like meeting for lunch at a pricey restaurant or going on a weekend trip to a place you cannot afford. [/b] As long as you don’t try to “keep up with her” and her lifestyle, you can certainly be friends. There may come a point where you need to be honest with her and let her know that some things are just outside your budget. [/quote] That was my experience. I am friends with a woman who didrn't seem to understand what's like to live on a budget. I just have to be vocal about what I will and won't do, otherwise she doesn't get it. My husband had just lost his job. We met at a restaurant and she got appetizer, main course and a couple of drinks. I just had a soup. At the end, she asked me if I was ok splitting the check half way! [/quote]
