now that my raise has kicked in I’m among the most financially stable of my friends and navigating that is weird, especially KNOWING that offering to pay for things can make people uncomfortable when money is tight BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT’S HARD TO NOT BE LIKE HEY I FINALLY HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE WITH ME I COULD PAY FOR YOUR TICKET. YOU WANNA DO A FUN THING I LOVE FUN THINGS AND CAN FINALLY AFFORD SOME FUN THINGS.
