No matter how well-rounded your friend group is, and how many corners of the world are represented in your circle, you have to admit there is one demographic that can be tricky to hang with: the extremely wealthy! Or friends that are even just significantly richer than you are. They like to say they’re “easy going” and “down to do whatever” but they don’t even realize how their tastes have grown increasingly expensive over the years. A “budget” lunch to them in a splurge lunch to you. You can hide the discrepancy for the most part but there is one time when you just can’t: when you travel together. When you go on vacation with a couple that is richer than you and your partner, your drastic budget differences are in your face around every corner. Here are the realities of vacationing with richer friends.
