The Search for A Way of Maintaining Friendship for Years

I was watching the Friends recently. The friends were falling out because of their different financial situations.

Three of them got fine jobs with good money, while the other three barely had a job. They all wanted to maintain the friendship but the money thing made put the relationship in danger. Joey was supposed to be an actor. Phoebe was an singer in at the Center Perk, and she didn't earn much. Rachael was a waitress but she couldn’t pay for the dishes she broke.

However , Chandler, Monica and Ross were having excellent job, so every time they had an event they wanted to go some place nice with all six of them. Joey, Phoebe and Rachael were embarrassed while telling their friends the money thing when all of them were celebrating Monica’s new job at the advance restaurant. You know, once you step out the college you definitely have a different life from your classmates. Of course, different people have different job with different wage. How do you deal with the friendship after your graduation? I think it is better to maintain friendship with your friends without involving money. If you want to hang out to have a dinner or watch movie with your friends, it must involve matters such as who pay the bill. People in western countries used to go dutch, but people in China would like give a treat. If you don’t know your friend’s financial situation, there is someone would feel embarrassed when he cannot afford the money. But if you know it, your treat is more like charity though you are out of goodness. For the sake of friendship, it is easy for you to do the right thing and hard for your friend to get the right idea and feel good. This would make you or your friend to fall out. The difference would do the serious damage on the friendship eventually. When it comes to money, losing face becomes more important than friendship, just because money hits right on people’s mind than other thing.
