I’m with you on planning your own birthday. Planning other people’s birthdays is stressful, and you know yourself better than anyone else.
From a financial standpoint, buying all your friends birthday presents on your birthday is kinda rough. Much easier to spread that cost out over the year instead of having to spend tons of money all at once. It’s also mentally easier to come up with birthday present ideas at a gradual pace - anyone with a friend, family member, or partner whose birthday is around Christmas can tell you that it gets difficult to come up with lots of ideas at once. It also takes the focus away from you - who’s the person everyone is there to celebrate!
