When friends earn more (or less) than you
A deep dive into the murky waters of money and spending habits, and how it can come between friends...
At the start of the Easter holidays, I found myself in a financial pickle.
Having become fairly adept at managing my finances, now that I’m nearly 40 and have three children, it took me by surprise that I’d fucked up.
And because it was so sudden, I wasn’t prepared for the reality: that I’d need to change my lifestyle quite quickly. Urgently, in fact.
So when a friend messaged asking if I’d like to go for a drink, even though I knew I couldn’t afford it, I said yes please.
And got myself in an even worse situation.
