Friendflation: Warum Geld in Beziehungen relevanter wird

Wolfgang Krüger, a psychotherapist and business expert, has noticed a growing importance of money in friendships. He explains that as the gap between the rich and the poor widens and we live in uncertain times, money plays a more significant role in our lives. He even coined the term "Friendflation" to describe the increasing costs of maintaining friendships, such as expensive outings, dining, and traveling together.

Krüger advises that in friendships with different income levels, the richer person should take responsibility for these situations, without feeling ashamed.
