Girlfunds takeaway tip from Tomeka Lynch Purcell:

One thing I recommend for all of your friends who are willing to discuss things with you is to definitely talk about money. One of the ways to get them to do that is to let them know that you are open and that you’re vulnerable and you understand their situation. Your friends won’t talk with you if they only see you as someone who is never in a bind.
