29-year-old confronts best friend about not wanting to split everything 50/50 for girls trip due to her financial situation, sparking backlash: '[Stop] pretending to still be poor'

The social anxiety that comes with splitting the bill with your peers can truly make or break friendships. That's why you have to extend some courtesy and grace to one another when it comes to money. Everyone has a different situation, and all parties need to be both self-aware and respectful of those respective situations.

If the split reactions to this story serve as an indicator of anything, it's further proof that how friends handle money with one another can be delicate at best and wildly divisive at worst. Here, we have two best friends who were planning a girls' trip, and through figuring out logistics, one finally confronted the other about the discomfort she felt regarding their financial differences. It's safe to say that this confrontation backfired pretty quickly. Keep scrolling below for the full anecdote and for the contradictory feedback she got from members of the online community.
