So I guess we're the guilty party in this situation. I'm going to make sure to pay him back next week. <br /><br />On a different note, I've noticed that we have different money arrangements with different friends. With some friends, we often take turns paying for things. Maybe we'll pay for dinner one night and another night someone else gets the tab for drinks. I'm sure that it doesn't work out to be *completely* even, but over the years it feels even enough. With other friends, we always split the check. So regardless of what people ordered, we just divide the check by the number of people and pay that. And lastly, with others everyone tries to pay just for their share.<br /><br />Anyways, sorry - I'm rambling. This post brought up lots of thoughts for me!Married In Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423185837248554988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-23861232296659926032011-01-11T07:20:32.320-08:002011-01-11T07:20:32.320-08:00Miss your updates!Miss your updates!amber waves of grainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847849885966311153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-56786092885921873332010-12-20T20:50:05.724-08:002010-12-20T20:50:05.724-08:00Ahem.

Ask him for me, k? Even if there is a statute of limitations of 7 dollars between siblings, I will pay.<br /><br />I must admit, though, I'm a rounder. A rounder upper, not down. If I owe my mom 46.67, I will just pay her 47 if I am writing a check, or 50 if I have cash on hand. That is more comfortable to me somehow. But when somebody pays me back and rounds up by several dollars for tax, I feel uncomfortable and try to give it back. <br /><br />So maybe you are onto something here. Give and get the exact amount.meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948213758031621954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-75016423878151297932010-12-10T14:41:40.536-08:002010-12-10T14:41:40.536-08:00I hate awkward money situations.

I have a cousin that is notorious for forgetting to reimburse people... to the point where my husband will no longer let me buy anything for her unless she hands over the money first. I am usually the friend who just "sucks it up and deals with it," but my husband is the type that will politely remind you until you pay him back. Even if it takes 5 times.amber waves of grainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847849885966311153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-22734431171718947272010-12-10T11:04:14.681-08:002010-12-10T11:04:14.681-08:00I like to know what to expect & how much cash ...I like to know what to expect & how much cash I need to bring on a trip. I try to inform others of costs when a group trip is planned whether I am in charge of it or not. It's just polite & kind to inform others. I know I'm always grateful when others inform me or don't leave me guessing about how much I owe them.Skeemer118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-74391532257325285382010-12-09T12:05:10.021-08:002010-12-09T12:05:10.021-08:00I think it's all about being upfront.

I hate that some people think that I'm implying that I want them to pay for me or that I'm trying to get out of something. If I (we) can't afford it, it's totally ok. We won't feel left out or upset or offended that others are going to go and do whatever activity. I hate feeling like I have to come up with a different excuse because some people feel awkward about my inability to afford something.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624558841231207858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-24203061031215505182010-12-09T11:33:07.040-08:002010-12-09T11:33:07.040-08:00Hahaha I especially love this in light of our conv...Hahaha I especially love this in light of our conversation from earlier.
