What's a little money between friends?

Money is such a hard topic to talk about. A lot of people are sensitive about their money and how they decide to spend it. Among friends, I think that money is one of the hardest topics to talk about. An advice I hear all the time is to simply give money to friends instead of loaning them the money; it is better to lose a little money than a friendship. Arguments about money can tear apart a friendship easily. As I read the article, it seemed clear that that was the case for all of them. I thought it was interesting that even after seeing how different their lifestyles were, Sara and Liz still found themselves spending time together. In most cases, I think that people find it hard to relate to someone who has a totally different lifestyle from themselves. Michelle and Alex seemed to be able to get along since they earned a similar salary and saw the same values in money.

Overall, I think that this article is relatable for everyone. As people move along in life, their life paths start to branch out. People start to earn different salaries as they move along in life. People that were friends in high school don't see eye to eye anymore, and start to drift off in viewpoints.
