Can you relate well to people who are much more wealthy or poor than you and your family?
Sometimes it's awkward for me to spend time with people who have way more or way less than me. Especially if we go out to do something and I can't afford it or they can't afford it. It works OK for the one who's doing better to pay for both but not if it happens all the time, then it's just really awkward except in rare cases.
Also, the way different people dress, talk, and act, where they want to go, what type of car they drive, it's all important to some people and not to others. My car is pretty junked out and messy and I'm embarrassed to have someone in it unless they're a slob. But I feel weird riding with someone who's way messier than I am. Do we all just hang out mostly with people who are in the same socioeconomic class that we're in? I wish we didn't have class distinctions like that...

First of, I like your question a lot. To tell the truth, people who have less than me usually use excuses not to go out...but they still invite me over. I have a friend who doesn't like to spend outside...so she ivites me over to her house and we do regular stuff that you could do outside...like movies, and as for food, sometimes she cooks (her food is delicious)...I never look down on her or anything. I respect her for what she has....my parents usually give me money each month...so I don't worry much about paying...but is not like I eat everyday outside...cuz even if you have money to buy outside everyday..is not healthy so I bring my lunch pretty much twice a week...if I eat outside is b/c i didn't have time to cook or didn't feel like cooking. Most of my friends also have pretty much a lot to go out...but they work to get that money...so is not like they are showing off or anything. I used to work too...in a restaurant....I don't know...but sometimes I do feel like some friends do spend way too much on food or things like that...Can I relate well to them? Well, yes, we are good friends....they understand when I don't want to go to really expensive restaurants.....I guess everything is relative and we should just tolerate pple...cuz everyone is different.

I have always been the one with a little more, by luck and work, so I'm not a snob. And I never care if a person has a crappy car or can't pay. As long as we have fun, I don't mind paying. But I don't let people take advantage of me. I like people who have more and less. So, no, I don't stick to one "class".
