In the last few years we've seen our family income drop significantly to the point where we now lead a totally different lifestyle to many of our old friends. We keep in touch but are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up and I wonder whether actually IABU to expect our friendships to last now our lives & specifically income are so radically different.
Don't get me wrong, these are lovely people who would be mortified if they knew I felt like this, but, socialising has always involved smart bars/restaurants, theatre trips etc and we can barely afford the babysitter let alone the night out!
So AIBU and can friendships survive big lifestyle differences?
