Going out to eat with friends financially ruined me. Birthday anguish.

https://old.reddit.com/r/povertyfinance/comments/y5f17m/going_out_with_friends_to_celebrate_someones?sort=controversial

>Last night I went out with 3 friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. After we ate 2 of them wanted to take pictures near the view where we ate and the other one had to use the restroom. They all bailed before the check came and I didn't think much of it when it happened. They didn't come back. I had one of them text me that they ran into other friends while taking pictures and the one in the bathroom left in a rush apparently because of babysitter emergency. I was dumbfounded at the audacity.

that is kind of fricked up lol but use your voice instead of redditting

>I budgeted for 20-30 dollars for myself. Quite reasonable, I didn't drink or have any extras. They were all wasted from a series of drinks.

>175 was the total. It was my entire weekly budget. I didn't want to stiff on a tip because I've been there before and it sucks.

I just hate the clinical way they talk. it's so annyoing

>I texted them the receipt for them to cashapp me or something. Only 1 of them did it (babysitter emergency) so I feel that her situation was geniune. The other two got really offended. The birthday girl said I should be willing to spot her for her birthday. Nah, not when you drink 60 dollars in drinks and order a 30 dollars freaking steak. (All of which when we were dining I thought I could make better at home but that's a different pet peve).

i guess she/her/xhe/him did ask but still. Shouldnt have paid in the first place.

>I don't go out to eat. This was supposed to be a treat. My first girls night out. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to make my existing groceries last longer because I'm out 100 I didn't expect to be.

I mean it sucks but jesus how do people live where 100 dollars ruins you. I get being annoyed but when you're really losing out on nromal shit that's crazy, and to have a kid? peakpoor. Die of poverty.

I would have told the waiter to hold on one second, and yell for them accross the room "Yo! Get the frick over, i aint paying for all this "

Why don't ppl speak up for themselves?

Well she posted 22 days ago she was considering going to AA for fricking weed so.. that kind of person

>I need a local support group but I don't think one exists for bud. I found local na and aa groups. I'm debating if I could go to one. It's essentially the same, I use the substance to escape and in a maladaptive addictive way. I feel like the basic principles would fit? I just... don't want to look like an butt I guess.

Makes sense when you are in to that type of stuff, depending on the severity, the wrong crowd tends to be included also

If you're "addicted" to weed, you need to rope.

Friend of a friend was gonna try and walk out of a restaurant without paying and saying oh they wont catch me. Yeah.....they have us on video, and 3 of us paid with cards.

I pulled a fast one on his butt though by covering the bill and tell him my brother didnt owe him anymore, my brother now owed me since i paid his debt off. Dude stewed the whole night like a little b-word about it too, was hilarious.

Side story: his dad got perma yeeted from the police force too that same night. Exposed himself in a restaurant to a female employee with witnesses.

thats not even bad, im living on 250 euro a month after rent and doing just fine.

I don't understand how these people struggle with 175 dollars per week budget, are they eating out everyday or what?

Yeh but €250/month puts you in the Portuguese elite. You live in a detached house and your children go to private school.

That’s genuinely cool that you can stay in a cheap location and take fast public transport to somewhere else. Is crime low or is that the price you have to pay?

I budgeted for 20-30 dollars for myself. Quite reasonable

this person is a cheapskate and i know they have pulled the routine coupons tightfisted payment act with friends before, add in some "you owe me £3.50 from 2 weeks ago when i bough that drink" and I'd ditch them with the cheque too lmao

Yeah I only have non poor friends so this would be a non issue but also i'd defriend someone if they hit me up for like 5 dollars. Although i do go out of my way to pay people when they grab stuff for me at the bar or whatever but if i forgot i'd be very annoyed.
