Was I being chindi?
We are deciding where to get dinner and I'm treating, 4 family members including my brother. My brother recommends taj where per head comes easily to 5k per person and I say I don't want to pay that much for a meal. Then he goes on a temper tantrum calling me a chindi and that I'm not living my life correctly, etc.
I can afford it but I have always been frugal like that.

Nah bro you do you. That 20k can be better spent on a short trip somewhere.
I can eat for 6 months with that amount 🤣
Sometimes it is worthwhile to spend if it's some special occasion. Your family will remember it forever (hopefully). But you should not be pressured into doing it brother.
20k ka khana khake janta hire hagegi kya?
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
5K per person??? What a joke I spend that much in 2 months. You are not chindi you are normal.
Your brother sounds like a pampered leach (no offence)
Has he ever made so much for dinner? If not he should not be demanding. Jo bolta hai woh hi hota hai
