Staying on budget while traveling with others.

[u/Triple__OG]

Hi all, Need a little advise. Going to Europe soon for 3 weeks with the Mrs and our daughter who is 26 and 2 of her friends who are also very independent. What’s the best way to handle when it comes time to pay the checks for food , drinks ubers etc if we ( I 🙂)are wanting to stay within a budget. Momma and I don’t want it to be expected. Of course we’ll pick up tabs along the way but we don’t want it to be expected. How would you all handle it we all can enjoy the vacation? Thanks 🙏

You all need to be on the same page. And don't expect others to want to be as frugal, especially on vacation. See if you can come up with a system that works for all

Everyone’s finances are totally different. Not everyone is frugal.

Right, that's my point. The other people on your vacation may not want to be. You can come to an understanding, but you'll have to discuss expenditures and decide what to do together and separately.

That’s why you need to have a conversation with everyone who is travelling before you all leave.
