First summary for article

Magazine from : Cleo.

The topic of the article is "Feeling Cash-armed?". It explains about the troubles and solutions to money saving issues and is focused when hanging out with friends. A psychologist, Melissa Podmore, says that " It puts a lot of pressure on friendships when people feel nervous and cautious about their money, they don't want to be excluded from doing things with friends so they endure the pressure to participate in social activities they can't afford." Podmore also says that many of her clients keep their financial gripes a secret from their friends, which adds to more pressure. So one of the solution to these kind of problems is to be honest with friends, because its possible that everybody else is in the same situation too. If you start being honest to your friends about how you can't afford those things, they might welcome some more budget-friendly options. Karly has a few ways to bring down the cost of catching up.
