Is it easier to meet and become friends with people from the same social class as you?
It's typically easier to befriend people with similar interests and values. That's not to say that you need to find people who are exactly like you, of course.
How would you describe your social class?

twisted fucking psycopath and the nicest person you'll ever meet
I agree with the previous thread start poster. People of similar interests and values more easily become friends with you because there is less friction and small talk comes easy.
Anyone else feel out of place in their social/economic class, just staying in it for the money?

>Feeling out of place?
In what sense?

People coming from similar income-levels are more likely to befriend each other because they're more likely to be going to the same quality of school, or living in the same neighborhood quality, or working in a similar profession that supports their income-level.
Socioeconomic class also influence perspectives and experiences, which can influences values and interests.

Easier, yes. Desirable? It could be mind-broadening to make friends who are not exactly like you.

I don't know, I would say I'm part of a group of friends that are decently well off, but we have plenty of friends that aren't. I'd say that they keep us grounded.

In my experience social class doesnt matter. Some of my friends have lived in literal shacks, others have lived in mansions with marbel floors; they were all pretty cool. Social class wont change too much in who you hangout with, its mote about how you yourself have a good concept of the values and properties of money.
Money doesnt inherently make people different, it just provides different opportunities for people to grow.

I agree, but those different opportunities can make people different. Putting a wad of cash in a person's hand isn't going to change them as a person, but using that cash to put them through graduate school will.
