invest all the time you use penny pinching into making more money. youll have a lot more in the end and be better liked.
if youre worrying about wether your part of the check is $7.23 or $11.17 because you didn't have wine, you're not in the right mindset to make money.
i follow the rule: if im going to argue over money, its because im going to sue you.
if its not enough to warrant a lawyer, i just take the L and forget about it.
i am however very serious about work and investments.
- sumtechguy 5y agoInteresting take. For a 'one off' I would not worry about it. But if they are doing it to you a few times, speak up. They are just taking advantage of you. It is not the 5 bucks. It is the fact that you are doing it to you...

- glitchc 5y agoBingo! Not all friends are in the same strata, unless one prefers to travel in a narrow socioeconomic bubble. Some are above, and if they offer to cover my meal, I'm happy to accede. Others are below, and for them I always offer to cover their meal. It may not seem fair, but is ultimately just.
