▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who think that a wealthy person and a poor person can be close. However, I personally believe that the both cannot be close friends for the following two subsequent reasons.
To begin with, if one is very weathy and the other is poor, spending time together would be stressful. People usually have a quality time depending on their wealth condition. This means, wealthy people have different pastime compared to those who are not wealthy. Thus, it is impossible for them to hang out with one another. To illustrate my story as an example, I had a friend called G-dragon when I was in college. At first, I liked him so much because he sometimes bought me a gift. However, after I went to his birthday party, I felt lonely and depressed because at that time, he and his wealthy friends enjoyed horse riding which I had never heard about. For this reason, I realized that I could not become his close friend.
Next, people cannot offer great comfort to friends who in very different financial status. Friends can usually figure out their friend's problem and understand one another. However, since others who in different wealth status grew up in different backgrounds and surroundings, they cannot truly understand, so it is hard for them to sympathize and give useful advice. For instance, when I was in highschool, I loved to use Facebook, one of social networking sites. When I uploaded my problems with my family, my best friend sometimes gave me good advice. However, as time went by, I felt uncomfortable because he often give me unrealistic advice. Once I fought with my younger sister, he told me to sail a boat with her. This advice made me get upset but he did not understand the situation. Finally, I decided not to hang out with him anymore.
To sum up, if one person is very wealthy and the other is poor, they would be stressed and cannot be offered good comfort. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is impossible for two people to be close friends who are in different wealth condition.
