if the less money, expenses stress you out see if you can downsize your living to make you feel less stressed.

those who very much value money, looks - other superficial traits for example are narcissists which means they have a hole inside. they lack real sense of value. you don't want to be like them.

If you have a surrounding of people who too like you live in a more expensive way and it is without saying you are not accepted or part of the group unless you do the same - they are not true friends. You would want to know who your true friends are, nothing like a crises to make that obvious. Love is free.things you can do with friends without costing is to go a park, walk outside, take coffee with your or what ever instead of expensive coffee shop
