The pressure, I think, yeah.

I think like separate to this, maybe think about like do you love your friends?

Do you have a history with your friends?

Do you all equally like respect each other and I suppose like champion each other and things like that?

Like do you think that they would –

Be all on board if you were like, I'll come with you guys, but I'm not going to spend money.

And they're just like, hey, we're going to support you, whatever you want to do.

They might not have to change their lives and their plans, but they will at the very least not be like, that's weird.

Why aren't you like joining us?

If you feel like that is the case, just know that like no matter what group of friends you're in, you hang out.

And so I think that unfortunately it's going to be kind of unavoidable to go out and do things unless you don't want to go out and do things.

And that's totally fine as well.

I get the sense you want to, but you want to do that in like the most cost-effective way maybe.

But yeah, I would just be thinking about like –

The people you're surrounded by, are they the type of people that would support your decisions to not spend money?

And if they are, then I think that the friendships you've built, the people that you surround yourself with, if they're good people and they're good friends, that's more important.

And you can like figure out all the other stuff along the way.

But spending money in a friend group is just like it's going to happen.

Even if you have the most financially savvy friends in the world, you're going to spend money somehow because you hang out.

That's what friends do.
