Friends and money don't mix

When saving money and watching what you spend can be hard when your friends are not on the same path. What kind of friends do you have and do they cost you money?

Whinging friend – These type of friends are always hanging around whinging about how broke they are, trying to get someone to say, “don’t worry I’ll pay” Don’t fall for it. They are constantly trying to make people feel sorry for them.

Stingy friend - Won’t ever really fork out for anything. The one that seems to always fall through the cracks. When you out in a group they always get paid for or shouted by one person or another. Then the next thing you know they have a new $800 mobile phone. They have no problem with people paying for them, and will never offer to pay you back. They will just say thank you.. They think that is enough.

Shopaholic friend – Steer clear of this friend if you are trying to save money. They will entice you to go out to lunch or on a shopping spree and you will end up spending money. This disease is catchy, because it can be fun to spend money. Shopaholic also like to convince everyone around them to spend money too. This way they won’t be the only one.

Party animal friend – Happy go lucky person that seems to be having a full time holiday and party. As long as you only associate with this friend every so often, there shouldn’t be a problem. This friend doesn’t care wether you have money or not. They live for the day.

Al cheapo friend – This is the guy that comes to your house for a few beers but only brings one and stays till stumps. Then he comes around for a BBQ, brings sausages to contribute, and comes back to next day to pick up the ones that weren’t used. This guy also freezes his own ice in old ice cream containers and owns his own house.

Unselfish friend – This friend will always give more than they will ever take. If you give them a cup of tea, they will give you two back. If you are like this and you have a friend the same, you will never have a problem. This person values your friendship and would never want to cost you money.

Which friend are you? I must confess I am a Shopaholic, party animal, unselfish friend.

Why is everyone keeping up with the Jones’s.
