[quote=Anonymous]As the poorer relative, I’d like to hear from the “richer”ones what your preferences would be. As the poorer relative, I wouldn’t assume that the richer ones will pay for me — unless it’s “We’d like to treat you for your birthday “ explicit. I also don’t have the budget to pay the check for everyone for lavish meals at expensive restaurants. Sometimes I handle this by paying just for myself. Sometimes I decline — with a general “Maybe some other time.” — when someone else has already chosen a restaurant that’s not in my budget. I used to reciprocate by paying the whole check at less expensive restaurants, but this only works when the group is genuinely happy with choosing a less expensive restaurant. To add, I don’t drink, so, if it makes a difference, my individual bill would usually be on the lower end., So, how would you richer relatives and friends prefer people like me to handle these situations?
