I eliminated the pain points on my birthday

Posted on by

Of birthdays and similar celebrations, I have always hated the pain point…that appears at the very end.

THE BILL

It’s horribly awkward because of the following reasons:

  • Someone has to take the lead to organize the splitting of the bill
  • That someone also has to account for everyone chipping in to pay for the birthday person
  • Some people are vegetarian, don’t drink, not hungry, sick, etc…they may or may not want to pull in a complete share
  • Not everyone in the group is comfortably financially and money is something that drains away any joy

    • The aim of any of my events is that there is no financial awkwardness or fear. It’s purely meant to be a joyous celebration of an event—that people come because they wanted to. Not because they could afford it, but because they took the time to travel, etc.

    It really wasn't that hard to blow out

    And so that is why on my 30th birthday, I took the liberty of picking up the full tab. As I had done for my 26th birthday, all of it was mine.
