Thankful For Money And Not Hoarding It

I really can`t believe how vehemently people feel offended at having to pay. To me that seems like such a rich American mindset to hold your money so much more tightly than your friendships. I`ve been in situations where am asked to pay and feel glad that I am blessed enough to have money for food and friends to enjoy it with! I also have a feeling it might be an older mindset, the idea that having everyone pay is inappropriate. With my age group (20`s) in Seattle it`s really common and completely acceptable. Do what works for you and your company and don`t listen to overly opinionated people. :)
