I wish I had been more generous when it came to money with friends and less strict about bill splitting earlier on.

When you're first starting out in New York and don't have the highest salary, it's easy to be frugal. And you definitely should be saving whatever money you can and be conscious of how much you're spending when money is tight. But money fights with friends are never worth it. In fact, money fights can end friendships.

I wish I had been less strict about making my friends and I split everything evenly and instead figured out how to say, "Don't worry about it" from time to time, whether that was me having to pick up more of a dinner bill every once in a while, paying for the cab, or buying an extra round of drinks.
