    So was he saying he didn’t need to be paid anymore to be his friend or the friendship money was past due and the account needed to be settled for the friendship to continue?

    I’ve never understood this obsession with massive, flashy, expensive birthday parties with hired entertainers and dozens of invitations. Is it an American thing? Do other cultures have this?

      Lots of cultures have big parties for specific birthday milestones, eg Bar Mitzvahs and Quinceañeras.

      I (non-american but western country) had “large” parties way back in primary school (around 5 to 10 y.o.), because at that point everyone was just little kids and so there were no cliques or anything like that, so it would be impolite not to invite your whole class - but after that point no, it would usually be like 5 people at maximum for a bit of a chill hangout.
