I won a little money and can finally fly first class. But that means leaving my husband in coach with our two kids. Does that make me a terrible wife?

Winning a little money in the lottery should be exciting. For one reader, though, it created an unexpected dilemma. She can finally afford to fly first class on her family's next vacation—but only for herself. That would leave her husband in coach with their two children under 10.

woman upset about splitting bills

My friends insisted we split every vacation expense equally, even though one couple upgraded everything. Am I wrong for refusing?

Traveling with friends sounds like a blast—until it's time to settle the bill. Maybe everyone agreed to share expenses, but then one couple upgraded to the biggest bedroom, booked fancy extras, and started ordering the most expensive items on every menu. If you're wondering whether it's okay to push back on an equal split, you're definitely not the first person to find yourself in this situation.
