One of my friends is 17 going to be 18 in about 5 months, is a senior in highschool, works at wendys making $7 an hour gets paid every 2 weeks and her pay checks are no more then $220. Today she signed up for the air force. I was talking to her online and she told me that she was going to buy another ipod. ( she already has 2 ipods ) i told her that she just needed to save the money. She got mad at told me she has no reason to save money cause she doesnt need to save for anything. I said thats the stupidiest thing i have ever heard. She needs to save for a car and a place to stay.She told me i was stupid and i didnt know anything about the airforce or the military services because they will provide her with a place to stay and enough money when she starts basic training that will last her for long enough. I told her that they only give her so much money when joining but she thinks that they give her a place to stay and all the money in the world.
I know im not her mom but how do i let her know she needs to save up money instead of blowing it on more ipods? Does the air force really provide you with a great place to stay and money to live off? She doesnt make enough money to waste it away.
Am i being a rude friend? Someone just can give me something to say to her? Anything? thanks (link)

rude? NO. but thats how i see it.
your being a good friend.
obviously shes not responsible with herr money.
if she wants to buy an ipod, let her.
she can have 6574893 ipod, but atleast you'll have a car, right? airforce provides some money, and not always a place to stay. its usually small if they do though. i see that you care about her so tell her something like this.
"(insert name here), i know i may have come off as a little disrepectful to you earlier, but i wasnt meaning to. im only like this because i care about you, and i want whats best for you. you have two ipod, thats plenty. all im trying to say is, your joining the airfore to fight for our country, if thats so then use your money responsibly. there are people we are fighting just so that they can feed there family."
OR YEA, something like that.
best of luck.
♥staci.
