Fake excuses for financial limitations

I've been using fake excuses to avoid spending money on social activities, feeling ashamed and anxious about my financial situation

What I wish I knew
"Being honest about my financial struggles could have led to more open and honest relationships"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest about your financial limitations and don't be afraid to say no to expensive activities"
