You are still paying money to see those friends. You are paying to play D&D together (books, dice, etc). You are paying for the utilities in your house/apartment(heat, cooling, lights, etc), you are paying for the food and drinks. You are paying for the radio or listening device. You are paying for the phone to call them or text them.

Fact is, you are just against paying for anything you think should be free. Unfortunately, nothing is free in life. Nothing. You may be getting something free (like typing into this forum) but someone is paying for your ability to have that free service. Sort of like your friends sitting at your house. They sit their for free, but you pay for all services surrounding them. Make sense? I hope so.

Last thought: You get what you pay for, be it free or otherwise.
