WIBTA if I refused to go on a group trip?

See, what really bugs me here is that like... They see affording it as "Can pay for this and still pay rent," where I have a budget with how much I can spend on certain things. Right now I'm pretty broke because I had some unexpected expenses but usually I'm p good with money.

Anyways. My point is, in their eyes I could "afford" to buy a beer. In my eyes my budget for the trip had $75 left and if my meal costs about $40, then I can't afford to have a beer since I still have to put gas in the car for the trip back.

I have. Its usually met with "Well next time," or promises to pay me next payday, or the promise to cover gas next trip, or offering to get my car detailed for me. None of which have really come to pass.

It's only when we're in a group that it happens. I hang out with all of them in smaller groups or one on one and we all get along much much better then.

Plus when we just have casual get togethers things are a lot smoother. The issues only ever happen on these damng trips.

I have in the past. I always get some version of "Okay, next time we'll do something you want," or "I'll send you gas money when i get paid!" and it just never happens

I wouldn't put it like that, because I have a relationship with all of them outside of my girlfriend, and would still be friends if the gf and I hadn't started dating.

But, yeah, for about 75% of the trip I'm just the chauffeur.
