Friendflation: Why Money is Becoming More Relevant in Relationships
Having good friends makes it easier to get through life, leads to a better relationship and reduces the risk of death. But what if the friendship fails because of money?
Psychotherapist and author Wolfgang Krüger shares his experience of managing financial differences in friendships. He often went cycling with friends and offered to cover expenses for one friend in exchange for her bringing a salad. Krüger notes that those with more money must take responsibility for being aware of financial disparities without making others feel embarrassed.
He believes that money plays a more significant role in friendships than we think, especially in uncertain times with a growing wealth gap. Krüger attributes this to the increasing importance of financial security in today's society.
