Happy National Best Friends Day!

I wanna give a shout out to all the best friends I’ve had in my life…

College best friends, Carlotta and Shannon.

Young adult best friends, Jeff & Chris.

Midlife best friend, Crystal!

Happy National Best friends day!!!

It’s National Best Friends Day! Here are some stats on who our best friends are . . . when we met them . . . and whether it’s possible to have more than ONE best friend.

1. 46% of Americans said they only have one best friend. But three out of four people agree it’s possible to have more than that.

2. Most of us met our best friend in school. Elementary school and high school are the most popular stages in life to meet them. Only 12% said it happened after college, or well after high school.

3. We’re almost twice as likely to consider our mom a best friend than our dad.

4. 43% of people said their significant other is one of their best friends.

5. 22% of us have owned a “Best Friend” necklace or bracelet at some point. Remember friendship pins?  You’d put beads on a safety pin and put them on your shoes?

6. 6% of people agreed with the statement, “My parents like my best friend more than they like ME.”
