some in the comments are calling this post very "elitist"
Others are saying " I know that's right ! Adios ✌️ "

Yea I'm sorry but stay home. Why SQUEEZE yourself onto a trip knowing you're gonna limit someone else's experience? I will say it's different if you're the one doing the planning on a low budget tho. At least everyone knows what they're getting themselves into.
I dont see the need to debate
Everyone doesn't have to do everything together. If ppl wanna do something you can't afford then find something affordable to do yourself and meet up after or never lolz
I get both sides. If this was already being planned as a group and all of a sudden they decide to exclude you because you can't afford the 5 star hotel they wanna book , i think that sucks. Now if it was clear from the beginning that the trip was gonna be expensive af and you're broke af, of course it makes sense - unless a friend invited to cover for you.
if a friend can't afford an excursion, i agree that you should respectfully leave them at home.
but the key word is RESPECTFULLY. if they're a true "friend' there's no need to be a rude ass faggot about it.
Why is there a debate?
Don't come.
Period.
U don't have enough coin? Save up until u do and catch me on the next trip. :ohhey:
I agree with what was said.

But sometimes there are things that u will wanna do as a group, restaurants u wanna go to, hotels u wanna stay at, etc. At the point that ur staying in a different hotel, not participating in excursions, and eating at mickey Ds while we out 5 starring it.....

I agree. Stay home, but if it's my bestie I'd probably help them.

that's the thing. it comes down to how much you really wanna spend TIME with certain people. if you planning this big group excursion and your CORE people/person can't afford it, what's the point? just take a solo mess and book something less expensive with the people you're aiming to spend time with.
I've done this before and never again.
I can't travel with a broke and/or cheap bitch, like Bow said, it's very limiting and it makes me resentful of that person tbh. Stay home in your struggle.

Maybe they just wanted to get away from home and work?
Honestly ppl already usually know who their broke friends are anyway so if you invite them you should already know they're not gonna be able to participate in super expensive things unless you're willing to help pay their way in
IDK arguing about this is giving me very classist, condescending vibes

It's not elitist, it's actually quite selfish on that individual's part. If you gotta be on a tight budget for the vacation, then it just seems like you don't need to go. Why take away from everybody else's experience because you can't afford to do things? A vacation is a luxury, not a necessity. You don't have to go...
You can't tell ppl what to do with their own money, tight budget or not lol
If they want to go I can't stop them from buying a plane ticket and traveling to the same place. If we're really friends then either Im gonna help them pay for whatever extras they can't afford or Im gonna let them do them while the rest of us enjoy ourselves separately
But getting mad at my friend for wanting to vacation with me despite their circumstances? Never
That's why I stopped doing group trips unless it's with my aunties and uncles. People bring negative vibes when they don't have the appropriate funds. I mean just stank, walking into the airport at 6am. I'm not even the type to ball out on vacation but I'm also not robbing Peter to pay Paul.

huh
nobody said the broke friend was DEMANDING accommodation. if YOU invite your friend on a trip and they say money is tight, it makes sense to accommodate them or just keep it pushing because YOU invited THEM.
And my statement still stands. Oph just don't need to go.
