You can't put a price on friendship, right??? Whilst our hearts are saying yes to every new restaurant, Saturday night gig, or weekend away that someone sent into the Whatsapp group, our brains are frantically subtracting what another night out might set us back with just one week left until our next paycheque. On today's episode we chat with Gyan Yankovich, author of Just Friends, about the cost of friendship. We discuss the changing dynamics amongst friends in your late 20s and early 30s, as money priorities can shift depending on whether you're saving for kids or stockpiling for your next holiday. We talk about the financial cost of making new friends, when the emotional cost is already high of hanging out with people you don't know that well. And we discuss why having conversations about money with your friends can be such a valuable and important thing to do. But the conversation doesn't end here... We want your thoughts!
