My best friend is not a friend?
My bff of a couple years has alot of money. She has never onc 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? I just want to block her on facebook and my phone. she is a selfish snob. I hate her for doing this too me. jack: no it's being something i'm not. why should I do all of that for someone? today she wanted to hang out but when I mentioned fast food she said hell naw and said she was gonna find something else to do for the night but she didnt...I wonder how long I should do that to seek revenge =)

- dam dude why docent she pay for you if she has all the money, idk hang ou with other people then.
- If she doesnt understand that you cannot keep with her standards and still treats you like that...it's disrespect....she doesnt care about you basically find a new friend with morals
- it sounds like your saying she doesn't get it- have you sat her down and talked to her? You also can just order an appitizer, and scale down your choies a bit- maybe eat before you meet up with her so your not spending too much on entrees
- well I say u have to talk to her about this and tell her how you feel and your situation and if she doesnt understand then she is not a friend. Trust me theres better people out there in the world.
- 1 try to get other friends 2 tell your other friend that you aren't like her 3 then tell her that your not cheap your just Smart with money and don't waste it
- Sounds like you need to get rid of her dear. I know how it is to be the middle class, just making it by girl surrounded by a bunch of rich people. That was totally me in high school. With you though, it seems to be just one rich snob that's your prob. Well dear, one is a lot easier to ignore and get away from than a whole high school full of them. Find someone more like you that enjoys the same things you do and won't talk you into spending more than you should. Some of my friends now have more money than I do, some less; but my favorite thing to do when I go "out" at night is to go to one of my friend's houses and play some dominoes. You can always find something to do that doesn't cost much or any money.
- Dont be afraid of loosing a friend who does not take your suggestions into consideration. As dumb as it sounds, you are going to have to speak to her, tell her you have other payments to make and cannot dine in fancy places and if she keeps inviting you, then you will not accept her dinner invitations anymore. If she does not care or understand well then dump her. Their is a lot of good people out there that can be your friends. Good luck
- Tell her u cant afford it. It might seem embarrassing but she should understand. if she asks why say its because ur not rich! If she gets upset or angry ask her why she dont pay once in a while if she got so much money. she can afford it and u cant. Tell her SHES cheap since shes not paying for her own $hit and u have to pay for all her expensive food. I know it doesnt seem like the right thing to do and u shouldnt be mean to her like that, but thats the way to get most people to understand. People have made fun of me for not having money and im just like dont like it dont fucking hang wit me not eveyone can afford a 200 dollar pair of jeans or whatever. I know how it feels. Its embarrassing, and u feel stupid and like ur dirt poor. It is really embarrassing to have people know u dont have tons of money but after it gets out in the open it wont be a big deal. and when she wants to go to a fancy place tell her to either split the bill or pay for ur own meals.
