| Friends are planning a birthday trip for one person in the group. How much should you contribute toward the $2000 of the birthday person’s total if you aren’t attending? |

| Either an equivalent share of the others, or nothing and get your own gift. Trying to pro rate gets messy. |

| Zero. I don’t send money when I can’t make it to a bday celebration. |

| None since you arent going. I would send a bottle of nice wine or champagne to a dinner instead. |
