Money Moral Dilemma: Should our friends pay for part of our holiday?

1356

Comments

  • Seriously??? How much must you think of yourselves to believe your friends should pay for part of your holiday just so they have the ‘pleasure’ of your company???
  • No, not OK at all. If you can't afford it don't go
  • Most definitely not. If you would rather go separately than pay extra to fit in with the availability of you friends, say so. Be polite. If you would particularly like to go with them then you must accept it is a more expensive holiday, but whatever you do don't make it sound as though you are doing your friends a favour.
  • Do what you want - These questions are always ludicrous, I honestly don't believe that somebody would ever need to ask this question.
  • And if they had been able to go on the cheaper dates, would you ask them for money because you had 'saved' them part of the cost????

    This plumbs the depth of daft dilemmas!

    Sorry for overuse of alliteration. :rotfl:

    Anyone who thinks their friends should pay or contribute to their holiday must have a very high option of themselves. :cool:

    Words, words, they're all we have to go by!.

    (Pity they are mangled by this autocorrect!)
  • NO, NO, NO! If you're happy to go with these friends then you should be happy to pay the extra cost. If you don't want to pay the extra cost then don't go - simple!! Honestly - some people!!:(
  • Hilarious that people actually think this way. If you want a cheaper holiday, don't go with them. Who do you think you are that they should pay the difference :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
