When I was 33, a lifelong friend of mine turned 35 and was planning her birthday celebration - a cruise that cost over $3,000 per person. She was deeply offended when I declined to join her, saying, “I can’t believe you’re not coming to my birthday party. You can afford it better than anyone! You’re literally the only person I know who owns a house.” I said, “that’s because I don’t spend $3,000 to celebrate someone else’s birthday.” It’s been 12 years and she never spoke to me again. I think I made the right call.
I remember visiting Mumbai with my uncle some time ago. There was a restaurant where we decided to have dinner. Meanwhile we got refreshed at lavatory and before the waiter could attend us, we had a look at the menu. And we were literally shocked to see the prices in there. A tandoor roti for 80 RUPEES. A normal butter chicken for 2-person portion for 680 rupees. 5 mutton kebabs for 600 rupees. I was kind of struck because we already had used the washrooms and been sitting on table for almost 5 mins. The manager at the counter already had seen us. But my uncle didn't flinch. After going through the menu, he just stood up and asked me to come along, and we started to leave the restaurant. After we left, I asked him, isn't it embarrassing to leave like that, and then he said something I will never forget. "Never be ashamed of what you can afford. The money we spend on things is very hard earned and to spend it just to save yourself from embarrassment is not worth at all." And then we went to another restaurant and had a very sumptuous meal for just 390 rupees which filled every part of our stomach.
I got into one of those when some signage at a bar said like $7.50* but I didn't see the * and that was for a table of like 12 or more, single price being like $24 lol. They didn't give me any judgement at all, but I was still very uncomfortable about it...
Right I was at a celebration dinner and my 3 kids and I totaled 40 ish because I knew I didn’t want to spend much but when the check came everyone was like yea split it I had to pay $84 🫣
I've seen it the other way as well; someone ordering the most expensive things while knowing they can't afford it unless the force everyone else to split it
@@phoenixjames9762 it is your fault for not saying something. And you would have been in the right, what kind of idiot suggest splitting equally when each got totally different things.
I make more than than my friends. When we go out, I let them choose the restaurant. They always choose a restaurant they can afford. I often pay. I don't mind it at all.
@@phoenixjames9762 that doesn't sound like good friends, but maybe they are simply unaware of it being a problem for you? Have you tried to talk? When someone earns a bit more, they often stop seeing prices in such small scape as something troublesome, and might see splitting as a convenience regardless if they have to pay more or less than they actually ordered/have eaten, and they might assume it's the same for you. If they know and refuse to accommodate you, that's a bit shitty.
I worked in banking for nearly two decades and I got to witness first-hand how people manage (mismanage) their finances. It made me feel pretty good about my financial situation and the way that I handled my money.
NEVER BE ASHAMED TO ASK MARKET PRICE. As a chef, depending on the item, it will vary incredibly and we can't update the menu every time. But even we are sometimes like "I am supposed to price this at HOW MUCH per portion compared to last month?"
It's exceptionally awkward in these kinds of situation. I personally have no problem saying I'm broke because I give zero care. If your friends act like this, let's be honest, they ain't your friend.
true ! but in the end, we ll have no friends ! i dont care abt having no friends ! but i m just saying that we can t have nor friends nor rs if we re broke
True friends care about your financial situation and will take your financial situation in consideration. Fake friends will want to take you on expensive trips even knowing you are poor.
Have been in situations before in both ends. Used to be the poor friend and now the rich friend. I was honest back in the day when I cannot afford anything. It was so embarrassing and I was sometimes bullied. But yet I was upfront about something if I cannot afford it. It saved me a lot of financial issues. Now even though I can afford I always listen to others and try to accomodate. If there is something I really wanted I opt for paying it all by my self so everyone can take part of it without feeling bad. Same thing I did with my wedding. Paid everything for the bridesmaids. Provided travel to destination for everyone and for some their wedding guest attire too. Since it is my wedding so why would anyone be pressurized about it

One of the perks of my job is that when I work overtime, instead of being paid, we get to order takeout on the company card. I have a little game where I try to get as close to the limit as I can, often getting lunch for the next day, extra sides or desserts. It's great because I had a fiscally responsible parent who never let us waste money on certain items that I can get just because now. Weekends are my favorite because the limit is higher and I can order the best steaks or foreign cuisine.
I CAN'T drink alcohol due to medical issues, but I have been at a table with other people who ordered expensive cocktails and very expensive wine, who were quick to say "split the check evenly". I did it a few times, but no more. Now I say "I will pay for what I got." Of course then the others act like I am being cheap or like I am the asshole in the deal.
Dude, being poor is not good. I was poor, signed up for an 8 week improv class, and we went to dinner in a restaurant which I couldn't afford to eat at. I asked someone for their leftovers and they gave me their leftovers but I felt such a crap vibe from the situation. Btw, I was the most talented performer in the class, and I saw many people from the class go on to accomplish stuff with television and getting articles and publicity and getting projects off the ground. Meanwhile I had no money to start up my own projects, so I relied on some sketchy unethical people to work with me. It resulted in me doing a tonne of work, not getting acknowledged or paid, and feeling a general sense of despair about the world.
I am 70 and just love your videos. They make me laugh and remind me of my "good old days" that I miss so badly. I am living them through your videos. By the way, the Fountainebleau is in Miami Beach a place I was born and raised.
Thats why i don't go out , coz i am broke and its awkward and I have social anxeity _(also im shy)_ MONEY is really important once you get past 21. Like the WORLD literally revolves around money. being from a middle class family , I know my Rich cousins and what opportunities, life decisions and doors they could open *LUCK also plays a role* _(but for me I don't know what luck is, i only know struggle even for the smallest things)_
It's not her place to offer, so that makes it a bitch move. Imagine if someone else "offers" your house without asking your permission and then one day some drunk youngsters show up.
I've been short of cash most of my life, so are my friends. Since I have my own practice and earn well, my friends and relatives who have less are invited, wherever we go. It's not that hard to be a considerate friend.
There was this episode in friends where they highlighted the broke dynamic with Phoebe and Joe being their broke selves at the restaurant and after losing lots of money just to be with my friends, I had to distance myself and only go hand out in each other's houses (I contributed with home cooked food) and keeping in touch by phone. I'm better off financially and now able to afford a brunch with the girls without wondering how I'll survive during the week.
I love how absurdly rude the waiter is on top of it. Refuses to say the market price. Acts as if asking if they have free bread is a crazy request. lol
I literally just say "im skint no thanks" but if they say "ye i got you we'll sort it out when you get paid" then i wont say no lol. Also whilst this was too true to be hilarious, somehow always guaranteed at least one laugh and she got me with the "LETS GO TO SPACE" at the end.
I've been the poor friend on many occasions... still am pretty poor. Lol. I always ask my friends if something is in their budget and I try to find something we all can afford.
I'm glad that I'm stubborn sometimes. Of someone ever tried to order for me, I would be like "No! I'm looking at the menu." Then proceed to buy the most reasonably priced dinner I like.
I had two friends, a couple. One day we wanted to double date at dinner but I wanted to go somewhere affordable. They kept insisting they wanted to go to an expensive restaurant but finally we settled on affordable. When our separate checks came my boyfriend and I were definitely pleased and satisfied with the good but inexpensive meal. Then they both turn to us holding their own check and asked if we were not paying for their meals. We were like no, why would you think that? We literally never said anything of the sort. They looked miserable and said we dont have the money to pay. My boyfriend and I were like ummm no we aren't buying your food. After a second it sank in that they wanted us to literally treat them both to an expensive meal at a high end restaurant. They had not bothered to mention that they fully expected we would be paying for our meal AND theirs. We laughed it off but never went to eat with them again. The absolutely audacity was pretty shocking. We did however get better friends. Havent seen those two jerks in years.
Had a group of friends like this, and while I made the least out of everyone, I could still afford what they can afford, it's just that what they preferred to spend their money on aren't in-line with what I preferred. For an example, they'd rather spend at a beach club while with the same amount of money, I could spend on renting a nice villa/hotel room that even comes with free breakfast, or I could spend the same amount scuba diving. Eventually, I got tired with this group and just spent more time with another friends who shared the same preference.
Dear lord if my "friends" made me that uncomfortable, I'd just make a bad excuse to walk right the feck out of there, and disassociate myself with that group entirely, bride be damned.
This is how it feels for me right now. I've made my piece with it. I just honestly tell them what's up, and that if they're willing to buy me some free food I'm down
When you think about this IRL. I honestly don't know how to respond to such a situation. It's rough honestly, and the fact is this can cause friendships to end.
My problem is I’d never make friends like this or pretend I can live on their level. And if I DID have friends like this, I’d tell them I have limited spending money ahead of time and will lay my boundaries down. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO HAVE SHITTY NON-COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS. Period. And life is too short to lie to the friends you DO have. Be honest and be genuine and the right people will appreciate you for it.

This is exactly like that scene from Bridesmaids, and that girl in the hoodie is Annie, played by Kristen Wiig. But in all seriousness, its difficult being the broke one in the group when people want to plan lavish group events, whether its a bachelorette party, bridal shower, whatever. If you are the broke one, just be honest about the fact that you might not be able to attend (all parts) of the celebration, without being judged for being a party-pooper. People should be able to be honest about this. The taboo and stigma about being broke or just making less than others should be lifted.
It's both funny and sad. In real life such cases are sometimes very embaressing.

Man if only Tom Hanks was sitting in the background when she said “I don’t want to be Tom Hanks!” 😂
Dude, being poor is not good. I was poor, signed up for an 8 week improv class, and we went to dinner in a restaurant which I couldn't afford to eat at. I asked someone for their leftovers and they gave me their leftovers but I felt such a crap vibe from the situation. Btw, I was the most talented performer in the class, and I saw many people from the class go on to accomplish stuff with television and getting articles and publicity and getting projects off the ground. Meanwhile I had no money to start up my own projects, so I relied on some sketchy unethical people to work with me. It resulted in me doing a tonne of work, not getting acknowledged or paid, and feeling a general sense of despair about the world.
I am 70 and just love your videos. They make me laugh and remind me of my "good old days" that I miss so badly. I am living them through your videos. By the way, the Fountainebleau is in Miami Beach a place I was born and raised.
Thats why i don't go out , coz i am broke and its awkward and I have social anxeity _(also im shy)_
MONEY is really important once you get past 21.
Like the WORLD literally revolves around money.
being from a middle class family , I know my Rich cousins and what opportunities, life decisions and doors they could open
*LUCK also plays a role* _(but for me I don't know what luck is, i only know struggle even for the smallest things)_
Inspite of being poor she still offered her aunt's place. Rich heart❤️❤️
It's not her place to offer, so that makes it a bitch move. Imagine if someone else "offers" your house without asking your permission and then one day some drunk youngsters show up.
@@Leanzazzy if I were the uncle, I wouldn't mind😂
Painfully true, almost feels like a black mirror episode
I've been short of cash most of my life, so are my friends. Since I have my own practice and earn well, my friends and relatives who have less are invited, wherever we go. It's not that hard to be a considerate friend.
😂😂😂😂😂super...soft. The pointed silence in this one is amazing. I love it😂😂
Lmao, I’ll take water from a hose 😂 especially loved the Tom hanks referenced 🤣🤣
There was this episode in friends where they highlighted the broke dynamic with Phoebe and Joe being their broke selves at the restaurant and after losing lots of money just to be with my friends, I had to distance myself and only go hand out in each other's houses (I contributed with home cooked food) and keeping in touch by phone. I'm better off financially and now able to afford a brunch with the girls without wondering how I'll survive during the week.
If Outback Steakhouse is the new poor,
I'm destitute.
Outback is an Australian term, do they serve kangaroo?
I love how absurdly rude the waiter is on top of it. Refuses to say the market price. Acts as if asking if they have free bread is a crazy request. lol
I LOL'd *SO HARD* at the very end OMG
“Hose, faucet” 😂😂😂
"Or hose..." I lost it there.
"Let's go to space." Lost it there again.
I literally just say "im skint no thanks" but if they say "ye i got you we'll sort it out when you get paid" then i wont say no lol.
Also whilst this was too true to be hilarious, somehow always guaranteed at least one laugh and she got me with the "LETS GO TO SPACE" at the end.
This is the 2nd time in my life I've heard the expression 'skint'. You must be from England? Because the other instance was in a lyric by The Clash :)
@@RisforRockit I'm actually from Italy but I've lived in England for over 10 years! Well spotted mate haha.
@@RisforRockitGot a fine set of peepers there, guv'nor 😂
There’s a difference between being cheap, frugal & low maintenance😉😂 nothing wrong with any of them!
Loved the tap water line so much!!!
Friends that make you feel bad about your income ain’t very good friends
yes! do a part 2 where they go "shopping" and talk about "investment goals"
I've been the poor friend on many occasions... still am pretty poor. Lol. I always ask my friends if something is in their budget and I try to find something we all can afford.
"She probably loves it because, you know, the food is super soft."
I work with the elderly and they do love soft foods.
I'm glad that I'm stubborn sometimes. Of someone ever tried to order for me, I would be like "No! I'm looking at the menu."
Then proceed to buy the most reasonably priced dinner I like.
I feel so bad for her. I know the feeling and it is painful😂😂
Tap…hose…faucet…hahaha I’m dying
I had two friends, a couple. One day we wanted to double date at dinner but I wanted to go somewhere affordable. They kept insisting they wanted to go to an expensive restaurant but finally we settled on affordable. When our separate checks came my boyfriend and I were definitely pleased and satisfied with the good but inexpensive meal.
Then they both turn to us holding their own check and asked if we were not paying for their meals. We were like no, why would you think that? We literally never said anything of the sort. They looked miserable and said we dont have the money to pay. My boyfriend and I were like ummm no we aren't buying your food. After a second it sank in that they wanted us to literally treat them both to an expensive meal at a high end restaurant. They had not bothered to mention that they fully expected we would be paying for our meal AND theirs.
We laughed it off but never went to eat with them again. The absolutely audacity was pretty shocking. We did however get better friends. Havent seen those two jerks in years.
You shoulda busted their plan out in the open…called them on it.
Did you invite them to the dinner? Just struggling to see why they would ever assume someone else is paying on a double date lol
Maybe you're just cheap
Tap...hose...faucet😂😅😂😅
Had a group of friends like this, and while I made the least out of everyone, I could still afford what they can afford, it's just that what they preferred to spend their money on aren't in-line with what I preferred. For an example, they'd rather spend at a beach club while with the same amount of money, I could spend on renting a nice villa/hotel room that even comes with free breakfast, or I could spend the same amount scuba diving. Eventually, I got tired with this group and just spent more time with another friends who shared the same preference.
Lol. So funny and im crying inside.
A "real" waiter woulda picked up on the poor hints tho ;)
When a skit like this hit way to close to home..damn
Terrible feeling. You just need to be upfront and set boundaries. Don't let them make you feel bad.
Dear lord if my "friends" made me that uncomfortable, I'd just make a bad excuse to walk right the feck out of there, and disassociate myself with that group entirely, bride be damned.
"Complientaarrry bread?" rolling.
"or hose"
😂😂😂
0:27 omg the look of concern she has is hilarious 😂
This is how it feels for me right now. I've made my piece with it. I just honestly tell them what's up, and that if they're willing to buy me some free food I'm down
Nah bro lets go to space is wild LOL
When you think about this IRL. I honestly don't know how to respond to such a situation. It's rough honestly, and the fact is this can cause friendships to end.
"Hose." That is fuc&&^G funny!
I just don't go. Some of us just don't deserve good things.
If you can’t tell a friend that you can’t afford something then that’s probably not a real friend anyways and you can afford to lose them.
My takeaway: "No body wants to Tom Hanks." Except, maybe, Tom Hanks. Love your stuff, Nikki.
"lets go the space" moment, what a legendary face :D
I've been here as a single dad. I was fortunate enough to have awesome friends who covered me.
That sigh from the waiter was gold 😂😂😂
This is why people of different financial economics typically do not remain friends for too long
My problem is I’d never make friends like this or pretend I can live on their level. And if I DID have friends like this, I’d tell them I have limited spending money ahead of time and will lay my boundaries down. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO HAVE SHITTY NON-COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS. Period. And life is too short to lie to the friends you DO have. Be honest and be genuine and the right people will appreciate you for it.
oh god this is me. my friend just bought a million dollar home and i just graduated college but at 29 ;o
*mortgage. They have a million dollar mortgage.
@@cheekychipolata very true. You don't own anything with a lien on it
@@cheekychipolata Smh...no one says they bought an X$ *_mortgage,_* they say they bought an X$ home (or house). Good grief.
@@cheekychipolata Maybe they actually bought their home with cash.
@@DoubleOhSilver Yeah but at the very least paying "rent" on a mortgage is completely different than paying rent on an a lease. Your money isn't literally going down the toilet on a mortgage, and you can recoup your investment if you ever decide to sell it.
Nikki, another feather in your cap, my dear. This was hilarious, start to finish. And that *_finish!_* Oh my God, I think that is the hardest I've laughed at any joke in any of your or Steve's videos!!! (Sorry, Steve.)
ps~Even when you're meant to look poor, you're still such a babe!
Hose water 😂😂.
Brilliant!!
“Split it!?”
😂
OWWWW, Strawberry Milkshake Muscle Milk just came out my nose when she said "Tap or Hose" 😂
She is brilliant
The character break from the middle girl at 3:02 was classic
I hope nobody actually has "friends" like this.
"... gotta mango-a-gogo" when I heard Nikki say that I knew this was going to be a good one!
Tap or hose is fine... priceless line!
the tap water is so me
"It's not about the destination. It's about the journey, man."
RJ
Space? Like MySpace? 😂
Me: I'm fasting. And busy being poor when your party is happening.
Nikki, your work is amazingly funny!!
OMG, I was scrolling on the Amazon app and I get to the syfy section and a preview for 5 headed shark movie came on. I was like, is that Nikki??? So I clicked on the movie and it was you 😂😂😂 I did know you did movies
These friends who order too much they can't eat and then they wanna split... The only tactics against them is to order more!
This is exactly like that scene from Bridesmaids, and that girl in the hoodie is Annie, played by Kristen Wiig. But in all seriousness, its difficult being the broke one in the group when people want to plan lavish group events, whether its a bachelorette party, bridal shower, whatever. If you are the broke one, just be honest about the fact that you might not be able to attend (all parts) of the celebration, without being judged for being a party-pooper. People should be able to be honest about this. The taboo and stigma about being broke or just making less than others should be lifted.
"What is market price?" It's always expensive, always.
