Sometimes people are made to go out with family, then is expected to pay. It's embarrassing to tell your family that you can't afford to buy expensive shit all the time. There was a whole Friends episode about that.
Them: "no...no we don't, I just checked, our house got taken by the bank and we're looking at shelters to house ourselves in until we find a cheap place"
Him: "nah man, you got money"
Them: "ah fuck, you right man. My bad" swipes credit card
Yep. My family do this for every birthday and it really stresses me out. My husband doesn't usually come along now because we can't afford to pay for three people - him, me, and the birthday recipient.
Well hey, one good thing to come out of the pandemic— any time someone’s birthday is approaching you can say you’re sick and need to quarantine until a negative test or say you were exposed and can’t go out, but you will send a card.
