Why does organizing a group trip always fall apart at the payment stage?
Curious if others have this experience. Every time I try to organize something with friends — camping, festival, group house — the idea dies not because people aren't interested, but because no one wants to be the first to pay.
It's not a trust problem. It's a coordination problem. Everyone would pay if everyone paid. But since payment is sequential, the first few people carry all the risk.
Has anyone found a good way around this? Curious what actually works before I keep building something.
