Maybe a little background as to why this friend ever considered you as her bank in the first place would be in order. You may get better answers that way.


Failing that, tell her to F off the next time she asks you for money. Direct, simple and to the point. If she takes offense and isn't your friend any more, are you really out anything?

OK, I've cooled off and it's really strange what brought back down to Earth. I helped her of course because I knew she was in a dire straits and what she was asking for wasn't going to make me miss a meal, it never is, it's just that she nickels and dimes me so much. Anyway, I sitting in a parking lot and I noticed this bird out on the hot pavement. It looked like it was desperately thirsty, it's beak wide open like it was panting, trying to figure out how to stay alive. It then struck me that my friend was a lot like this bird, just trying desperately to stay afloat in this world. I know that she hates asking for so many favors from me but she knows that I'm the one person that's always comes through for her. When you look at the big picture it's only a little bit of money. I do wish she'd learn to take care of the little that she has but I guess that just isn't going to happen. She's a good person with a good heart but not too savvy nor shrewd with her dinero. Yes it's my fault for not telling her no but hey, that's life. And no, I don't make her pay for these favors by sacrificing her dignity.
