No one wants to admit that they have a toxic relationship draining the time and energy out of every day (via Inc). Instead, many people would continue in the destructive habits that perpetuate these relationships than admit how much they have lost and cut the person off. Successful people who are getting ahead financially make a point of associating with other successful people and dropping those who are draining them (via Inc). If you have a toxic relationship in your life, drop that person and embrace positive change.
