[header] How to deal with cheap people [title] Include this person in the planning. [step] Whether you're planning an outing, a group trip or going in on a gift for someone, make sure to include this person from the beginning. If they are a part of the planning, they'll be able to tell you what their budget is and what they are able to contribute.
