Why Having Friends Who Make More Than You Gets Awkward
You will need to be paid back
When your friend forgets her wallet or decides it’s easier if one of you puts the bill on their credit card (you) and the other Venmos their half, you become really nervous. You can’t just cover this $100 purse your friend wants or her $80 portion of brunch (she does the bottomless mimosas and two appetizers plus entrée) and have her forget to pay you back. But you also know that that money is so small to her, it will immediately fall off her radar. If the tables were turned, she probably wouldn’t ask you to pay her back. You already know you’ll have to remind her, multiple times, to pay you back, and you hate that.
