Do You Discuss Money With Friends?

[Huppercase]

We don't discuss our crypto holdings with friends, do you talk about money as an alternative instead? What I mean is like, talk about what you are doing, your side hustles and how much you're making from it. Is this something you and your friends are open about, or do you typically stick to safer topics like sports and politics? If you don't discuss money, why not? And if you do, how much are you comfortable sharing?"

If you are my friend, that means I have really accepted to be your friend, if you are not my friend that means you are not my friend and there is no sugar coating if, you are not my friend and any other thing that I will do with you will be like an outsider, I will never share any details with you but if as soon as I consider you to bey friend, then consider the friendship to be something we can share this kind of idea together, anything outside money will be discuss together.

If we are friends, we will talk how to make money together and every opportunity that I come across, we will share it together, this is what I expected you to do as a friend and I will reciprocate the same energy together. If I found out that you are trying to outsmart me with yours, that is going to be my last time of sharing ideas and any other opportunities together, I believe when they said you rub my back and I rub yours, if the friendship becomes one sided, that's all.

My friends will only get to know how much I earn if we work for thesame employer and receive same pay or if we are in thesame field where everyone knows the standard earnings obtainable. Aside this, there is no need disclosing such information about what goes in and out of my account with friends, of what use is the information to them? The only reasonable conversation friends should have about money is ideas on how to make money together and grow financially. Form partnerships and grow businesses or skills together. Anything aside this is just fun at the expense of one's security. Not all friends should be trusted.

On this case then everything will really be known on how much you do earn specially if you do earn with the same salary but we do know that when it comes to this manner on which there are individuals who do have some other sources of income too or simply with some side hustles on which they've been dealing into. This is the time that you will be needing up to make it private because disclosing everything into your friend will really be removing that kind or privacy on which we know that this is something that risky because any could really be able to know that you are earning something better.

Well, not to be on being selfish but we do know that there are individuals who are really that taking advantage to us whenever they do know that we do have money, and also its a bit hassle that they will be keeping on asking you on how you do it. There are times that we dont really like to share up into the things that we are dealing on with and just that been said that not being a selfish man but there are thing on which arent meant to be said.

This is quite a very good question and definitely having discussion as this is very crucial and mostly the persons you disclose such information to it's also important as well, so for me I don't discuss my crypto holdings with friends but then there are some friends that have been with you in the long run, those are the people I let them know about my side hustles but not necessarily my crypto holdings so they can also benefits as well.

We should trust on our wife because she is the partner and if any mishap happen then one person should be in your life who will be collect assets and otherwise your investments will lost. I met one person 2 years ago and he said that he bought 4000 Bitcoins at the time of launch but after few years when he saw the price of BTC and he forgot the password and he got nothing. When you will die your family need money to meet expenses and you are in the heaven and what you will do of money if you are died . Always share your personal information with 1to 2 person on which you highly trust and you know that they are trusted people.Your mother is always with you in any kind of situation and always share his money related information with mom.

That's what I mean, we should consider emergencies and unexpected situations, at least our loved ones can inherit our assets instead of taking them to the grave. That is wasteful and selfish. Because without our mothers, we wouldn't be here today and our wives will be the only ones who will be with us until we die, they deserve to know and have what we have.

Also, through this I remember in other threads most people say that to them money is not everything and there are things more important than money. But when it comes to sharing property information with relatives to prevent emergencies, they refuse and think that relatives are not trustworthy. It is clear that many people consider money to be everything and more important than the person who gave birth to them or the person who will be with them for the rest of their lives.

Bitcoin or money, if we lose it we can earn it back but if our family and loved ones are lost, we will never find it again. Many people do not understand this and think that money is all they should have, even though they are the ones who say that money is not everything  .

Sincerely speaking, it is very  difficult to discuss anything cryptocurrency with friends or family because first thing that comes their mind is that you are rich in disguise because they believe anything cryptocurrency is bitcoin and bitcoin is $96k as at the time of writing this post.  So it is hard to disclose your identity. Most of them will even criticize you that you are a scammer because they feel anybody doing bitcoin is a scammer depends on the type of person you are dealing with and his level of understanding or exposure.  and sometimes it may put you in trouble trying to let someone know what you do.  Most people has been kidnapped and killed just because of revealing information to their bitcoin holdings.  So it's better to keep shot and do what is better for you, after all no one cares how you do, all they need is results. You can discuss about fiat business and keep cryptocurrency matters aside. except anyone of your relatives show much interest in bitcoin, then you can educate them. But don't reveal your Holding to him or her to stand a better chance of not being exposed.

I have a friend who previously lived so casually because he didn't think about anything other than surviving with the needs that were met from the income he had. One time I had a casual chat he wanted to start a business or business this happened because he was asked to marry his girlfriend immediately so he had to collect a lot of money for his marriage capital, I myself think that's fine but make sure he must be ready first if he wants to get married because marriage is not a trivial thing. In addition, I have experienced financial problems and wanted to take a loan but didn't do it because there are risks and I think everyone understands this. Every now and then I discuss finances with my friends by thinking about how to make money quickly and until now I still haven't found a way.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Well I think it is bad to discuss finances with friends because you don’t want them knowing how much money you have. If you do discuss the finances they can put a value on you.

If your friends knew that you were rich or wealthy they probably would be asking to borrow money all the time. But the bad thing about it too is if you discuss finances with your friends, then your friends would also put a value on your friendship. And that is not something we want from our friends.

When we discuss finances with friends, it doesn't mean we have to tell them how much money we have, what assets we own and how much they are worth...We can talk about making money, business, saving money, investing...that is also a financial discussion.

Moreover, if we have considered each other as friends, I think there is no need to tell them, they will know what kind of people we are through the way we dress, eat and spend in our daily lives. And hiding it from them is impossible and does not bring any benefit. Like us, i have a group of friends more than 10 people and we always drink coffee every morning or get together on weekends. Although we never explicitly state how much money each person has, it's not hard to find out if we want to but we don't mind that because we play together because we get along, not for money.

That might be where the talk is going when you talk about money with friends. Especially when you have douche friends who would ask you to pay for the drinks when you reach the bar. But yeah we talk about money, I tell the truth that I don't have much after all it's obvious that I don't have an expensive car they will be jealous of.

But talking about money with old classmates can end up in everyone bragging about their achievements so much or catching up but ya. I hate talking about money but can't escape it when family talks about it.

I do discuss about my side hustles to my close friends, but I never tell them how much I'm earning. Privacy should still be there. We only discuss those topics that everyone can relate or gain an experience, just like crypto which they're aware already but have never been making an income.

The point here is if there's another opportunity to earn a living, be it fiat or crypto, as long as one is capable, then we really push ourselves to acquire more information about it.

[Ziskinberg]

Money is a crucial factor, so yes we often discuss about it. The only difference is that, they're into fiat, but I'm more into crypto. And sharing how it goes with fiat or crypto is quite an interesting topic.

However, when it comes to giving them information about my earnings, I don't do that, most especially that bitcoin is more valuable than fiat. Friends can be friends, but they could also be an enemy later. So I don't give my full trust to anyone. That is to protect mine, and also their part. While money is a good thing, but it can also be the root of evil.

I've had acquaintances (I won't call them friends) who would always want me to pay the bills whenever we all hang out together because they believe I've got more money than them, this people never try to reciprocate the offer. This kind of people if allowed to stick around you for long, they will drain your finances, reason i can't call them friends. If they can be this selfish when they do not know how much I earn,  you and I can only imagine what they would do if they eventually know what enters my bank account every day. If you are not my wife or finance manager, you have no business knowing about my financial status. Except maybe I need a loan from you which will warrant me to declare my financial status to you.

We're the same, I give them some idea but I don't give them figures. Because if they know how much I am earning, that means that they have an idea on how much I'll be getting for specific periods of time. And when they want to take a loan from me, they can reason it out that I still have that much although it's already out of their welfare and it's no longer their problem whether I'll help them or not.

The point here is if there's another opportunity to earn a living, be it fiat or crypto, as long as one is capable, then we really push ourselves to acquire more information about it.

Exactly. If it's about making money, we can spend our time in doing research and give our efforts to it because it is for us. The more that we have an idea on how plausible our plans when we find some other source of income, that's how it is going for us to keep on doing the grit that we used to do and make more money from that time that we have and so, we can have something new to discuss again to our friends.

[Agbamoni]

OP, at some age a man chooses to be very security conscious. There are some levels of discussion that you have with your friend and when money is involved you tend to shift the conversation to another direction. The reason for doing so is because trust has been an issue these days. Even a close friend might feel you are getting too useful in what you are doing which will lead to jealousy and envy. There are so many reasons why I don't discuss about what I do to earn a living instead i will draw the conversation to the aspect of ways on how to make money. We can share different opinions or agree on joining forces together to do it. But only if a legal document is agreed upon.

Discussing assets is a situation that is sometimes difficult because it is hindered by privacy but in the end when talking about discussions I still do that with my friends but it doesn't lead to achievements just limited to discussing some things related to crypto as well as fiat because for me regardless of whether it is fiat or assets when it comes to numbers or achievements it is still a privacy so I don't really like to discuss this with anyone except my own partner.

As for the discussion problem, it is normal to talk about anything with anyone including friends but in the end there are always limits that must be set so that we remain comfortable with the subject matter being discussed and even though there are some of my friends who always discuss assets or whatever it is I am now still trying to make this still a privacy because my assets are only me who must know without anyone else caring.

That's true when it's about talks. There are a lot of people who are willing to listen but if it's about the application and execution of the plan, there will be no one that will do it like when they're also interested in listening. Reaching financial freedom is hard to get when you have no motivation and you don't have a plan to do it. But those that can do it and are happily sharing it with their friends, that's how they do it. And with simple talks on how to manage wealth and do investments, I agree that just go with Bitcoin and nothing else.

Providing knowledge to others is a good behavior, especially to those closest to you in terms of achieving financial freedom.
But not many people may be able to follow these steps consistently because they may have limitations.
Implementation are indeed difficult to do, but if we provide education to them in a touching way, there are times when they will think about doing it.
The most important thing is that the education provided is also inseparable from maximizing risk and they must understand something based on good knowledge so as not to get caught up in mistakes in implementation.

If only it's a form of marketing to my friend then I'd discuss what fetches me money so that they could do it and I'd make more funds. Aside that, there is no reason whatsoever to follow up in discussion that focuses on what puts food on my table. Generally, we all talk about money and the type of investments we'd wish to venture into, yet I always keep it to a minimal level.

Not for the sake of envy, because I could detect easily when someone is envious, but opening up money making methods could be discouraging to some length since everyone would have their personal take on the matter.

There's a reason why they are called friends, These are not just your acquaintances they are much closer than that. Having such relationship with them means that you should feel free to share ideas that are money related. I don't think I'm ready to have friends that can't discuss about money, it's better to always share ideas that are profitable instead of talking about mondane things. Although some people feel insecure when they talk about what they do to make money. There are somethings that should be kept private even with friends, there's a limit to everything.

I don't know if there is any difference in the concept of friends between countries but I agree with you. Once we are friends, we must at least trust each other to a certain extent and respect each other. I was quite surprised when I read some of the comments and saw that many people called their friends liars, thieves or bad people who like to borrow money but don't pay it back...I wonder if they are so bad, why be friends with them? I don't believe that people with good personalities can be friends with people with such bad personalities.

Nowadays, making money comes not only from knowledge but also from relationships, so I don't hesitate to make friends and am willing to share with them things related to money. That way we will have more chances to make money. It would be a waste to gather together and just talk about trivial things like music, side news, each other's hobbies...while the main goal of life is to make money but we choose to ignore it.

I have a lot of friends, but there are just two people to whom I tell what I do as my side hustle, because before telling someone what you are doing, make sure you know that person well and that they are a trustworthy person. However, I’m not comfortable telling friends how much I earn, but I can tell them what I do to make money, and there is a reason behind that: regardless of how close you may be with someone, if that person is hiding some from you, it will be better if you do the same, and that is why I don’t tell any of my friends how much I earn, but I can tell them what I do as my side hustle.

Re: Do You Discuss Money With Friends?

Just a few hours ago, I spoke with my friend regarding money matters, but more on "where we are putting our money" or "what do we buy this Christmas?". As for the money part, I don't think that's good to speak about even though that friend is your closest friend because for me, it's a private thing, or at least if there's some limitations to it, and there are things that I don't want to share as well. I don't know if it's just me or what.

I want to speak with regards to money matters with my friends in the future, but right now, I can't trust any of them, and I would rather speak to my trusted relative than a friend. I would rather talk about investing in general with them than money itself so that it would be helpful for them. When I speak with my friends, normally our conversation is all about games since most of them are playing online games like I am which for me is better and more comfortable as well.
