Friendflation: Warum Geld in Beziehungen relevanter wird
Wer gute Freunde hat, kommt leichter durchs Leben, hat eine bessere Beziehung und verringert sein Sterberisiko. Nur was, wenn die Freundschaft am Geld scheitert?
Wolfgang Krüger, a psychotherapist and business expert, often rides his bike with friends, a journey of around 80 kilometers. They planned to return to Berlin by S-Bahn. However, his friends suddenly decided to continue the bike ride. "They had no interest," Krüger explains. He only understood this later. He had previously made a deal with his friend who he also often biked with: he would cover all expenses incurred during their rides.
In return, she would bring a salad. Krüger, who has written books on money and relationships, states that for friendships with different financial situations to work, the one with more money must take responsibility for such situations without feeling ashamed. Krüger explains that money plays a much more significant role in friendships than we think, and it is becoming increasingly relevant today.
This is due to the increasing gap between the rich and the poor and the fact that we live in uncertain times. "In such times, money plays a more significant role, and we currently define ourselves more strongly by it."
