This is a great point. I hang out with a relatively affluent crowd (mostly i-bankers and corporate lawyers), and there is a constant pressure to spend more money than I'm comfortable with. But it cuts both ways. When I'm hanging out with old college friends, everyone's content to grab a drink at a dive bar. Surround yourself with people in the same financial situation and you'll always find a way to have fun without breaking the bank.
