A viral video is breaking the internet after a girls’ trip turned ugly because one friend showed up with no money

There’s nothing higher than a good girls trip to bring friends together. That is, unless someone invites a “broke” friend over. Is showing up to a group trip without funds a deal breaker? A viral TikTok video has divided the Internet, leaving many social media users questioning their friendships.

A woman named Kaleah posted a series of videos on TikTok showing what looks like a group trip from hell. It all began when her friend Keisha organized a trip to Cabo, Mexico for the girls’ birthday.

“Why did I just get back from Cabo and one of the girls didn’t bring bread on the trip,” Kaleah begins.

The group was scheduled to board a flight to Cabo on Friday at 5 a.m. Thursday evening. Keisha hosted a birthday dinner where Kaleah met Imani, Keisha’s friend, for the first time. After a night of wonderful dining, Kaleah says the bill got here to about $724. She tabbed her bank card, expecting everyone to refund her their share of the $181. All guests submitted full payment via Cash App, apart from Imani, who Kaleah claims lost $46.

“All of a sudden her CashApp (Imani) doesn’t work, her Zelle doesn’t work, her Venmo doesn’t work, her PayPal doesn’t work, her ApplePay doesn’t work,” Kaleah says in her viral video.

Kaleah claims that Imani, unbeknownst to Keisha, sends her a sidebar message revealing that she only has $135.53 in her checking account. Although she found it odd that Imani would have so little money considering they were planning to go abroad the next morning, Kaleah shrugged it off and assumed that Imani would pay her the remainder of the money the next day, Friday, assuming that could have to get the money he paid first.

“Y’all, I never got that bread,” Kaleah said.

Once they arrived in Mexico, the girls’ journey seemed no higher. From Imani, who allegedly stole Kaleah’s phone charger and stopped the birthday girl from occurring trips as a result of lack of funds, Kaleah sent a stern message to viewers to never travel with people you do not know.

“Stop bringing random b-s on those trips out of state or out of state or wherever because you barely know them,” he says. “You need to know their occupation. You have to know what their bank accounts appear like.

The conversation soon turned to traveling with “broke” friends, leaving social media users debating easy methods to make a real friend.

On the one hand, many individuals felt that Imani was “disrespectful” for knowingly occurring the trip knowing that she wouldn’t give you the option to cover her own expenses.

“I believe it’s completely disrespectful to travel across the country with $135 knowing it is your friend’s birthday. expect him to show you how to pay for every part? This is the problem! Just do what you possibly can do. a true friend SHOULD understand this. and I said ‘let yourself’, not ‘relatively do it’ he wrote X commentator

Another X user added“I like my friends to death, but we’re adults. you already know rattling well you possibly can’t trip on $135 dollars, not to say internationally. A true friend shouldn’t even want you to pay that much for him.

Social media influencer Ari Fletcher also joined the debate. “A true friend would not let her friend leave town for $135. A true friend would advise you to remain home and prioritize what is essential to get your money back. “I have no intention of watching my friend spend the rest of her time on a trip,” she wrote.

On the other hand, many believed that it will be the duty of a good friend to cover expenses and never leave anyone behind.

“IDK, if one of my friends took a trip for only $135, I would just make sure she was straight and help out as much as I could for the rest of the trip,” said user X. “You guys don’t like your friends.”

“Exactly. If I got it, she got it,” one other person he replied.

Others find it hard to imagine that somebody went to a different country without adequate funds of their checking account. So how much must you save for a decent vacation?

How much money must you bring on a group trip?

The biggest debate that has arisen from this case is how much you need to take with you on a group trip and whether group trips are even a good idea.

Some say you possibly can eat for lower than $200 in a place like Cabo.

“You can survive in Cabo for $135 without excursions,” said one X user.

Another person commented on the situation: “I want to see bank statements before a group trip. “How much money do you have?”

According to Bank rate, holiday costs can vary depending on destination, accommodation and activities. According to Bankrate, a week’s vacation in the U.S. costs a median of $1,984 for one person.

While you do not need that much for a trip to Mexico, where the U.S. dollar is price greater than the Mexican peso, Bankrate suggests budgeting $58 a day for food, $13 to $40 a day for alcohol, and about $2 per mile for shared rides like like Uber and Lyft.

In the case of group trips, experts say Before a group trip, it is best to talk over with your mates to debate expectations. It’s also best to debate how much group and alone time you all need.
