DEAR HARRIETTE: I just received an invitation to a wedding from an old friend. This friend and I used to be close, but frankly, we started hanging out a lot less because I couldn’t afford her lifestyle. She always had a taste for more expensive things in life, and that just wasn’t my priority at the time. She used to poke fun at me, calling me cheap, and that took a toll on us, but we stayed in touch through phone calls and texts on birthdays and big milestones.

Ihad a really good ice-cream cone this week.
