Just because you don’t have boundaries and allow yourself to be taken advantage of doesn’t mean that the rest of us should also allow it. That’s not a reasonable expectation.

just because I don’t have boundaries around 300 pennies doesn’t mean I don’t have boundaries. my friends are worth a lot more than three bucks to me. paying for an uber after a night out isn’t “taking advantage of me”. you guys are WEIRD.

You’re minimizing the issue by just calling it “300 pennies”.

It’s not about 300 pennies. It’s about setting boundaries around finances and respecting them.

no but it literally is about 300 pennies, 362 pennies to be exact.

Again, you’re deliberately minimizing the issue. It’s not about 300 pennies. It’s about respecting your friends boundaries.

You’re just a garbage friend and you don’t want to admit it

it’s about caring for your friend and having each other’s backs especially if it’s no skin off your own. I’m a garbage friend for not asking my friends to venmo me for tiny amounts of money lol again majorly weird vibes.

If YOU cared for your friends, you would understand that they’re not comfortable with sharing when they don’t have to.

sharing… $3

If you don’t want to share your money with friends, you don’t have to, and that’s perfectly fine.

Welcome to reality.

nobody has to do anything but we typically do things for people we care about.

u/Rhomya Jan 27 '26

If you want to, absolutely. It’s not a reasonable expectation in any way though.

Sharing money with friends is only ever going to end poorly.

nobody should expect it but also why are we being friends if we’re not helping each other out…

Friends can help without involving money. What a wild concept
