To think that more friendships have been ruined because of money than anything else?

[ArtfulHedgehog]

I’ve been reflecting on friendships and what causes the most damage to them and it seems like money is a recurring issue. Whether it’s lending money, splitting bills, unequal financial situations, or even just differing attitudes toward spending and saving, money has a way of creating tension.

Have you experienced this? Do you think money is one of the biggest friendship-ruiners, or is there something else that causes more damage? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories.

Choosing restaurants as a group. It's like the friendship grim reaper after a few years.

Nope, never for me. Money has never been an issue in any of my friendships.

Totally agree

I've lost at least two friends because of stealing/ not paying me back

And these are small amounts! Obviously the friendship wasn't worth much!

Are you going to tell us a story of one of your friendships ending because of money issues OP? Or are we all here for your amusement or research? It’s only fair to tell one first!
