But the biggest part is my personal fortunes have changed over the last few years, and with the cost of living, it's a now a bit grim for my family.
When people have a friend who can never afford to do anything, they quit getting asked out. I used to hang out at his house sometimes but it began to get a bit uncomfortable as I could seldom bring anything, and his wife isn't the most welcoming. (especially to someone she views as a mooch)
I think people generally like to spend time with others on their level, or social strata.
He's ghosting me, and I my mental health isn't in a place when I have the capacity to fight it.
sucks through, no matter the reason.

Sorry to hear that. It might not help much, but when it comes to cost of living and keeping up with bills, there are many people in the same boat right now. Hopefully things turn around for you (and everyone) soon.
Easy for me to say, but treat yourself and your family to a day this weekend. Spend some quality time together, and go for an ice cream cone at the end of the day. That and a hug from your wife, kids, or whatever your situation is can be the best medicine
