None of them have any future aspirations and I feel like sticking around with them will only keep me from progressing my own life.

Plus, we are homebodies now since we have two small kids. Oh well, it happens.

I am getting more frugal, and foresee this type of issue coming up with friends I’m not as bonded with. Also, I have one friend who has done EXCEPTIONALLY well financially, and currently has means quite a bit greater than mine. I am now hearing him tell me stories about things he and his wife do that I’m not comfortably able to afford. It gives us less in common to talk about in some areas, but thankfully we’re longtime friends with a lot in common and a history of good times anyway.

The issue that I have run into mainly, I the past, was loaning money to friends and it always causing an issue. I have moved to if a friend has a need and I can help meet it then I just give it to them without the expectation of repayment.

If people don’t understand your predicament (and probably their own but they have their heads stuck in the sand) then they are acquaintances not friends. Just move on! You need people who share your values, not your wallet.

Either I stopped drinking or endangering myself in other ways and they didn’t and would keep putting me in danger, or I would want to grow spiritually, culturally or whatever and they didn’t support it. I would just let them go. Its time. There are only a few people that will remain in your close circle of friends throughout life, they will rise to the top!

Have had a couple of friendships end like this. The sad thing is, most of the time I wasn’t even counting on seeing the money again and wouldn’t have even asked about it. The friendships didn’t have to die.
