@nathanramospark: Wealth gap between friends can be awkward to talk about but I am learning I just need to be more honest and be okay with missing out on things (even though the trip was still fun my wallet is hurting) #wealthgap #winecountry #temecula
I’m in a friend group like this - if we want to do something like this, we split it basically proportionally to our incomes - those of us who make more pay more, and those who make less pay less

been thinking a lot about this for my bachelor party. there's a decent range in earnings between the 7 of us, and trying to figure out what works for everyone while still prioritizing what I want

i always appreciate friends who just straight up ask "What is your budget?" and we give hard numbers. If I can't afford it, I can't. Go on without me!

I live in NYC, backed out from a weekend trip where the Amtrak or rental car alone would have been $350+ because there wasn’t room in the main friend’s car. Politely told them I’ll join next time.

The memories you made were priceless though. Just figure it out and pay it later.

I've been in both positions and I either have outright said I couldn't afford it, and tried to make plans for another occasion that I can afford, or I have paid for my friends or absorbed the higher cost with no awkwardness, and we're all happy! 😊

being in a wine club is usually code for having discretionary income

You say embarrassment, all I see is fiscal responsibility and honest communication 👏 You’re a champ and we could all learn from you

I can’t be friends with people who don’t have a job. I’m not feeding you.

If $300 something for a weekend trip is too much. I think don’t go out for a weekend trip. Do a hotpot at home. Or potluck at home. Still have fun. Going out is expensive

Just speak up. We've all been there. Friends will always understand.

You have the money. You just didn’t want to go. Beyond wasn’t any cheaper regardless if you payed for it ahead of time.

If I know an outing is out of budget for my friends, I offer to pay the difference. I want to hang with my friends and i want us to have a shared experience - it’s why I work so hard 💕

For me it isn’t even the embarrassment so much as the FOMO

Curious if you would share the Napa itinerary. 500 bucks for a weekend up there is a steal

If you can’t go…they should understand or change the venue. Those are true friends!
