Friendflation: Why Money is Becoming More Relevant in Relationships
Those who have good friends find it easier to get through life, have a better relationship and reduce their risk of death. But what if the friendship fails because of money?
Wolfgang Krüger, a psychotherapist and author, shares his experience of managing friendships with friends from different financial backgrounds. He notes that those with more money must take responsibility for being aware of and addressing potential financial issues without making others feel embarrassed. Krüger believes that money plays a more significant role in friendships than we think, and its importance is growing due to the increasing wealth gap and uncertain times.
He has written books on money and relationships, and suggests that being mindful of financial disparities can help friendships succeed.
