A friend attended his cousin’s wedding last year. At almost $100,000, it was quite costly. Hardly a wedding on a budget. The couple isn’t famous; just regular people with middle-class parents. The bride wanted the best of everything. Costs spiraled out of control, to the point where potential guests were being asked to contribute money, or were told that they would probably not be getting

Last week I went on vacation with two friends, and we agreed that splitting the bill for everything was the best choice for airfare, condo, rental car, food and drinks. Meals out were our individual responsibilities. I put all expenses on my credit card – I volunteered, so I could get the points – and the ladies reimbursed me for all pre-paid costs. Throughout the
“Moooooooooom…can I have that?” “I WAAAAANT IT! PLEEEEEEEASE??!!” “All my friends have one; why can’t you buy me one?” Sounds familiar and annoying, doesn’t it?
