[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I'm going off the behavior I see in my ILs:

[b]Always let the other person pay for dinner.  
[/b]
Always buy for quality.  Spend more now to make it last longer.

Seriously.  I can remember maybe a handful of times of when the ILs have picked up the check.  They offer, sure, but when the other party does the customary, "no, let me" they don't play the game of back and forth, they simply let them.

All of my MILs furniture is decades old, but looks fab because she spent $$$ on it.  And they are classic pieces that age well and don't look dated.  I have friends who pay designers to flip their living rooms every few years to refresh them, spending $5k-$10k on mostly IKEA and Urban Essentials type places.

I grew up pretty wealthy and around wealthy people; I don't know any rich people like this. Going out to dinner with my parents' friends always ended in a comedic improv of people angling to pay the check for the table. I actually think splitting checks or not offering to pay is a sign of not having money (or not feeling like you have money).[/quote]
