chaos answered Friday June 24 2005, 9:30 am: Tell them you have a budget and they aren't in it. If they are your true friends, they won't care about the money. I had this problem just because dad bought me a cool car. Every body on the damn planet wanted to ride in it. So when I got tired of all that, I told them my parents won't let me drive anyone but my siblings anymore due to legal issues.
And don't pay for theirs unless you want to. When you are talking about hanging out, make sure they understand that you can only pay for yours. There is a fine line between being generous and being used. So you have to figure out where your friends loyalties lie. Dude, ask them for their share of gas money. If they make a face, tell them to get lost.
And I am glad you are in college and learning something instead of truly loafing on your parents dime. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
