    Divided by 4?  Not when I went to school. 
    The reference to 4 people has confused me a bit as well - to quote the OP ..............................
    "But they are both in a better financial situation than me."
    As Eskbanker alluded to - there is a Groundhog Day feel about this sadly not uncommon failure of diplomatic relations amongst "friends" resulting in abandoned holiday plans.

    There is also a reference to "all three of us", so it seems pretty obvious that what OP really meant was three in total rather than her plus three others, despite using those words....
