All Life Insurance Tips

My best friend is not a friend?

My bff of a couple years has alot of money. She has never once worked a day in her life. her parents pay for everyhting. she gets a new phone every month. everytime we hang out she wants to go to a really expensive resteraunt like chilli's or chessecake. I can barely afford these places and yet you gotta leave a tip. I have insurance from the goverment for crying out loud I can;t afford all this. I always insist on going to a fast food but she's like nahh that unhealthy and most people our age (18-19) dont eat at fancy expensive places. all these years ive been putting up with it and now my therapist thinks I shouldnt have to deal with her and thinks she is not a friend. She calls me cheap for not wanting to pay for a luxury item? yet our income's are not the same. $25 dinners are like 25 cents to her. she eats out 3 times a day and itz just getting out of hand my parentz want me to be friends with her since I dont have many friends but this is just insane the way she is treating me. I am wanting to end the friendship but scared I will be lonley since I dont have many friends... I mean I could have saved up for a whole year of college spending all this unecssary money on food I dont even finish. What do you think of my situation?

1. Hi Craig You better stop going out with her, and see her only at either your home or hers. You can start by suggesting to her that you rather have dinner at your home instead of going to a fancy restaurant. You could also say that you really do not like the food which has a lot of MSG to make it taste better. But hey ... she invites You, right? The person who invites Always Pays! Good luck *..*
2. Oftentimes, people are friends with people who are on their level. You two are not on the same level. I mean no offense towards you, but you just literally and figuratively cannot afford to be friends with this person. Plus, if this person was a real friend, they would be more understanding towards you. This person doesn't seem to realize or understand that not everyone has money like her, and that's common for people...well, really, common for anyone from a background different than another person's...you never really understand what other people have to contend with in life when you don't live life the way they do. The difference is a friend makes the effort and would at least be like, "Well, okay let's find somewhere we can both afford and will enjoy" or would offer to treat sometimes if they really want you at a fancy place with them. It's not typical to insist that a friend goes places and does things they can't afford. And what is the rest of the friendship like, i.e. what else do you get from this person? If all it really is is going to lavish places...how is that a friendship? I'm thinking you need to find people you relate to more in life, and she probably needs to do the same.
