This type of behavior speaks volumes about the character of these
"friends". If I had been one of the friends knowing that you are
unemployed I would have made up the difference for you so that we all
can benefit from a great weekend, what's a couple of 20's one way or the
other. And vice versa if I was the one unemployed one of my friends
would have bought the meals for me.
But the group of people that I associate with tends to be much more
generous and open minded with finances.
Either way give yourself a break from this cheapskate and still go on as
planned. Nothing worse than having regrets later for not following
through with the trip.

Ok, sorry for the offtopic post, but I really need to vent. I have a
bit
of a problem and would like to hear some opinions other than my own.
Background:
I have been planning on attending the Road America Motorcycle races
this
weekend for about a month.
[ http://www.roadamerica.com/2004/races/ama/index.htm ]
The whole plan was to do this trip "on the cheap", ride the bike up
[good
gas mileage] and stay in a motel using my freebie points, skip
resturaunts
[powdered iced tea and MRE's], the whole bit, because, as some of you
might
remember, I am still unemployed.
