My cousin is mad at me because I declined an invite to her trip due to the price?

He does not have to spend his bonus check on a trip that includes paying someone else's way. It's his money. He earned his bonus. He can spend it or save it. It is up to him.

Bonus checks. I use to get them too, and since they contracted my job out, I lost that income.

Bonus checks are checks In most situations......that are well earned.

I would think that a bonus check goes to the workers who are the most valuable to the employer so I am sure that you guys do work very hard for those.


The figure of speech...."I have bled" ; is true for me. I have went a 110% and then some. Been stabbed in the back, done wrong, mistreated, verbally abused, and have had undue and extreme stress put on me.

I have every dime I have gotten, and then some. And I still get misused - lied to at work and manipulated.

Not much of an "invitation" if it comes with a $2000 bill is it?

Get the passport anyway though. It's something every American should have. It helps you get out at a moment's notice.

Nope. Plus I heard the purpose of everyone paying $1850 is so her trip can be paid for. She is fucking nuts
That is wrong. You should let her know that a birthday gift is something you give because you want to give the gift. Not because you were asked to give it. I have a story for you. A long time ago we asked a relative what we could buy for their child who was about to turn 1 year old. Was there anything specific she'd like? We were told a contribution to the child's college fund would be great. I told my husband I would handle it. I had noted that a friends' child who I had watched loved this little rubber ball with nubby ends on it that bent out of shape when you squeezed it. It was one of those toys children age 1 or under love to play with. I bought the ball and boxed it in a nice little box and had my husband ship them the gift with a birthday card and I signed it, Happy Birthday! We hope you have a ball! Now I know the child enjoyed the ball far more than a deposit to her college account but we never received a response (or a thank you).

Have a nice evening fbj and make sure to send your cousin a card with the same wish (Hope you have a ball!). If she reacts like a two year old you can find that rubber play ball at most department stores and send her one. They cost one dollar and might work for stress relief too.

She invited 6 people and so far only 1 person is going and 1 person is a maybe

I think you should think about what you love doing, fjb. Is it camping? Going to the beach and renting a cabana? What is it that you consider to be a relaxing, enjoyable vacation? Whatever it is? Do it. Go alone, bring some good books, pack your favorite foods and drinks and take a trip! Enjoy your time off and have some solitude. Everyone needs solitude. You deserve a rest. Do it for you.

I'm sorry that you are going through a difficult time. God loves you. Read your Bible and let the Lord encourage you. He will help you to see these trials differently. You are becoming a stronger person for it all, Shadow. Everything you go through strengthens you. So do not be discouraged. God loves you.

Wow

If I am going to save $2000 by next June it will be in my savings not toward no trip

WTF, aren't you getting a bonus check? Didn't you say bonus checks are for fun. Take your bonus check buy your trip and quit PMSing, you are worse than a damn pregnant lady.

My bonus check went to my savings account Mr. Mongo

Not a big beach person so even if I hit the lottery for $5000 I still would not go lol

BTW, those Cowbucks looked good today.

Bonus money is for savings and entertainment.

And the Cowboys can't win because the coach is a undercover homo and the QB is retarded

okay. Well, even if it is the backyard. Turn off the phone, the outside world and make it a time of rest and listening to the wind blow through the trees. Buy a hammock. Your spirit will be refreshed and you'll be glad you took the time for you. No one else is going to do it for you. You have to do it.
 
Unless you wait to the last minute a passport is about a hundred bucks. But even an expedited one would be well south of $1.8K, so no flies on the birthday girl. She just needs more friends dumb enough to ante up.

I was told a passport is $180
 
Have you ever heard of something so stupid? She is celebrating turning the big 4-0 next summer and invited the entire family to go to Jamica. So the total cost is $1850 and this is the price breakdown which confirmed I could not go. So you get mad because someone can't afford to go? I think she maybe slightly retarded. But look below at that price breakdown

$300 due on 11/2.....non refundable

$275,,,due feb 2016
$275....due march 2016
$275...due april 2016
$275....due may 2016
$450.....due June 2016

Now where the fuck is all that money supposed to come from? Oh and $180 for the passport

If I am going to save $2000 I rather it be in my savings not going toward a trip.

Just tell her teh truth, "If I spend $2000 on a vacation I"m damn sure not going to be going with family." :)

She sounds like she is a very selfish person, especially using relatives to go on some trip that she wants for free.
Send her a little bit of money like maybe 10.00 or 20.00 and tell her to save up her Birthday, Christmas and her own cash and she can pay for it herself someday.
