When roommates have hidden class differences affecting daily life

My roommates and I have very different financial situations - some of us are on food stamps and some have family money - but we act like we're all 'broke college students' together and it's creating resentment around everything from groceries to social activities. We need to figure out how to acknowledge our actual economic differences without making it weird to live together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Unacknowledged economic disparities in shared living create ongoing friction disguised as personality conflicts.
