A reader asks for advice on planning a destination birthday trip with friends.
I recently started planning a joint destination birthday celebration with a dear friend. There are a few other women invited to join us in celebrating a milestone birthday. We are very much looking forward to it and have been talking about it for a few years.
Since I booked it, I messaged the group and asked each person to reimburse me their share. But there have been a few who said things like, “Money is a little tight right now, can I send it next month?” I’m afraid they won’t take me up on this and will just fight me on it. I also feel bad I didn’t just offer this from the beginning.
