Maybe I just have good friends but I feel like this fear is overblown. I made a decent amount of money from a startup (enough to pay for a wedding + eventual retirement at a standard age). As part of this windfall I paid for a vacation for me and my close friends. No one ever came asking for money. No one asked if we could do it again. Friends that didn't go have never asked for me to pay for their vacations. And if they did I would just say no.
