Should the person who earns more pay more for joint holiday friends not partners

[Libbykitty]

Just that really.

2 friends going on holiday, should the person who earns more pay more say 75 ler cent of holiday cost, neither person wealthy, but one is part time and the other is full time so earns more.

Welcome thoughts as I am unsure.

If you want to, do it, but if this extra is less than half the holiday cost then I feel you shouldn’t have to. What’s your friend going to pay? Will they expect you to pay for meals and drinks on the holiday? Spending money? Unless the holiday won’t be enjoyable for you without your friend, I suspect this will end up being difficult for you.

If it’s a question of the friend paying the difference in price between one person and two people going on the holiday, that’s different because no more is added to your cost- it’s a good deal for them but less subsidy from you. But I would be uneasy if they pay nothing at all, it feels off and I fear you might be used or that things might get murky between you and your friend, which would be a shame.

Do you mean give them a completely free holiday? I think you are mad.

But if you want company on holiday and its beyond your friends budget then why not?

Only you can decide if you want company or not or how much they can afford to chip in for it.

What are you talking about? 😂 you keep replying to me, trying to justify the fact that you were really awful to the OP based on your poor reading and comprehension skills.

that's not how holidays are sold. The price is per person. The travel agent doesn't have a sliding scale of charges according to your income. You're petrol pump doesn't charge according to.ypur tax bracket, a pint of milk.costs the same from the supermarket if you are a millionaire or on a zero hours contract, or without an income. Grow up.

Its not how holidays are sold but a if its a package holiday the single person ends up paying an under occupancy fee.

If Op wants to have her friends company on a holiday the friend can't afford the Op does have the option to say me going alone will cost say £600, two together will be £1000.

She could offer to pay however much of the £400 she wants. Or accept its £600 for Op alone.

Absolutely not.both paying 50/50 going together means that you're both saving money compared to paying for two individuals to go separately. One earning more doesn't mean they have to fork out more for both to get the same holiday whilst the other benefits from paying a lot less and further saving

No absolutely not. You both pay an equal share if you want to go.
