Birthdays can become pretty expensive pretty fast.

Not only to the host, but the guests as well.

From covering travel expenses to buying gifts and contributing to group activities, the dollars can add up quickly.

Sean still went to congratulate his buddy, only he joined the party after everyone ate.

And so I didnt go and now hes mad at me.

And you know, at a fine dining restaurant, a burgers just gonna be three bites.

And I also dont eat red meat.

Im not really looking to spend the equivalent of a week of grocery money on a single night out.

I think I made a fair compromise.

So I dont know what to tell you.

Just read the room.

Yeah, its your birthday.

But you should know if your friends are going to be happy with where you choose.

So yeah, I stand by my decision.

I dont think your birthday is about doing the biggest, fanciest thing.

Its about having fun with your friends and doing something you like.

Second, I like to choose stories that may be a little controversial, because this increases engagement.

Sean personally thinks that each guest should pay for their own meal.

And who better to spend it with than your closest confidantes?

Some even go into debt for these lavish affairs.

But is it worth it?

But where does acknowledging a birthday fall within these defined assumptions of friendship?

It doesnt, Hallsaid.

But even though most people have supported him, some disapproved of his decision

Thanks!
