Ditto. I often have to remind myself and my wife to avoid discussing finances with other people, particularly family and friends. Every single time I've discussed it, I regret it. Most people are living pay check to pay check and have no room for error. The worst is family with no insurance and inconsistent income. They get a windfall of a few thousand and I suggest they save it for an emergency. They go on vacation. In the middle of the winter their heater explodes and they don't have any money to replace it. Of course, they want a loan. -
If any person has different live ideas from you - he can't be your friend.
"Me left hand is terrible stupid cause always jumps into soup, while the right hand takes a spoon". This is a silly situation, isn'it? The same applies to friends. Friends can't be so different.Comment

It's tough to keep friends close that can't afford to spend time with you.
Time is free. You can "afford" to make time for your penniless friends if you choose too. If you don't, then you really aren't really their friend. You can get together and play cards, board games, go for walks, rent movies from the library and on and on and on.Comment

I agree to wincrasher. Totally out of the 'circle'
Anyhow, to help the thread going on the same path... Friends who would not face the fact that they cannot afford a lavish lifestyle 'anymore' should be told. It may hurt, but if you are really friends, they would get over it somehow. Them being broke is not your fault, if you have enough cash to live a good lifestyle then it is because of your own doing. Hope you get your friends to do as you do.Comment
