She earns significantly more than me, too.

My friend “Greta” and I live in the same city and meet up every month or two. What’s the etiquette for paying for Uber when the person I’m with wants to Uber but I don’t?

Greta will get an Uber to go like, six blocks. I, on the other hand, will rarely Uber if it’s less than a mile or so; if it’s more, I will still possibly walk depending on conditions, or I will try to take public transportation if I can. For one, I don’t make a ton of money , and I also just like to walk if I can.

Recently, we went to another city for a weekend. Greta got us an Uber to go from our hotel to brunch, even though it would have been only a 15-minute walk. Later that day, we were going from one place to another, it would’ve been a 30-minute walk, or we could have taken the subway, When it was time to go, Greta looked at me and said, “Do you want to get Uber?” I said, “I’d rather walk.” She rolled her eyes and huffed .

I think it’s OK to just be honest with Greta and tell her you need to save money, so are trying to avoid spending on things like Ubers when you have easy alternatives. If she wants to take an Uber anyway, she can pick up the tab. A lot of people are hesitant to say that they’re trying to stick to a budget because they’re afraid of coming off like cheapskates, but it’s perfectly reasonable to walk six blocks. If Greta is disdainful of your choice, I think you have to accept that it’s Greta’s problem and not yours.
