How friend groups navigate income differences and shared activities

My college roommates and I have been planning our annual reunion trip for fifteen years, but now some of us are in very different financial situations and we keep planning expensive things that not everyone can afford without talking about it directly. We all want to stay connected but money is making it awkward and some people are starting to make excuses not to come.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Economic inequality is quietly undermining a cherished tradition, while politeness prevents honest conversation.
