I can’t afford my sister’s expensive 30th birthday dinner
A planned rooftop tasting menu and shared photographer fee are creating a financial and emotional dilemma for a guest who says she can’t afford the costs.
Dear Annie: My younger sister is turning 30 and has planned a birthday dinner at a trendy rooftop restaurant where the tasting menu is $165 per person — not including drinks, tax or tip. She also wants us to split the cost of a professional photographer “to capture the moment for all of us.”
