Ep143: How Do We Keep Friendship Affordable?

from The XYZ Experiment

Last week, we asked do we still have "Best Friends"? This week we're going deeper into something a little more uncomfortable - money and friendship. In a world where everything feels more expensive, how is money quietly shaping our relationships? From dinners out, concert tickets, weekends away - are we unintentionally pricing friends out of spending time with us? And are we being priced out of catchups too? It's a quiet balancing act nowadays, wanting to connect but also wanting to be mindful about ours and others finances. From choosing where to go, to how often we say yes, to the pressure of keeping up; are we all doing enough to keep our friendships inclusive? Hosted by Fiona, Darsh & Luke Produced by Fiona Kelly & Darsh Ayton Show runner Darsh Ayton Original music created and performed by Luke Champion Social media content created by Darsh Ayton & Fiona Kelly
