62. Don’t burn bridges
My best friend from high school grew up fairly spoiled and expected all 13, yes, 13 of her bridesmaids to spend close to 800+ on the dress, shoes, nails, etc.
I backed out politely because I was working full-time trying to afford college on my own. She flipped out and ended up not even inviting me to the wedding. 3 years later she contacted me on Facebook asking to “catch up”.
Turns out her husband had been cheating on her, took all of their savings, and filed for divorce.
