Default Re: Going out to dinner with Friends

I don't buy into the "it evens out in the end". Because it doesn't. All you are doing is subsidizing the liquor bills of others. Let them pay for their own food and drink, you are not their family. From now on, ask for your own check. At first, they may look at you like you have 2 heads, then stick with it and do it EVERY time you go out. Eventually, they will just say "Oh, that Susie likes her separate bill" and not even ever give it another thought. And, if they think you are "cheap", who cares! You work hard for your money, do you really want to pay for Joe Blow's beer tab when you could spend it on other things?
