I agree with this statement. Building friendships as an adult is hard. You only develop relationships with people after seeing them over and over again. When you take away the option to have friends at the workplace, it can affect your mental health.

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?
