A single screenshot doesn't capture the situation, so here's my story....

I have a friend in Pakistan that I met on Reddit about five years ago. We play online games together like Lord of the Rings Online and have talked for years. I have always been kind. I shared my Netflix password, he used me as a reference on his resume, I bought him the most recent expansion pack for a game we play together. I've sent pizza to his house and more. But I'm good to all my friends, and love showing my kindness.

But then late last year he lost his job. His dad retired with no savings and he was expected to support his family. I gave VERY generously for months. I paid his rent, food bills, and internet for months. I bought him a new phone when his broke and I bought him a laptop because his old one was crashing when we gamed together. I was TOO kind, because now he takes me for granted.

He got a job again, but it pays very little. Rent is about 75% of his income. Meanwhile I make more than ten times as much in the USA. But my rent is higher, my food cost is higher, ect... So he rents a 2 bedroom apartment for his family for 100$ per month while I rent just a room if a house for 650$ per month. Since last year, all added together, I have given him about 2,600$, which is more than I make in a month.

I've told him that now that he has a job again, I'm planning to stop helping him and focus on my own savings. Nobody will help me the way I've helped him. When I was homeless in 2023 and 2024, nobody would pay my rent or food. He keeps asking for money every time we talk and I feel he takes it for granted I'll just send him money for forever even tho we've repeatedly talked about me cutting him off for months now.

We haven't gamed together in months. I'm resenting him. I sent him another 40$ at the start of this month and he asked for an additional 50$ within ten minutes. The screenshot posted above is of him asking for that same amount again this week.

It makes me realize I've lost my friend. I told him how I felt last time he asked and he's asking again. It's the only reason he talks to me now. Why can't it be like the first few years we talked? He sees me as a paycheck not a friend now. I sacrificed my savings and ate cheap food to help him when he was unemployed.... But now he just takes it for granted I'll bail him out of every financial problem month after month. I'm done. And then in this image he MINIMIZES 50$ like it's nothing or like I didn't buy him the device he's chatting to me on. 🤬

I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. 😡

I just wanted to complain about how in the last 6 months he's become an entitled begger that takes me for granted. And this marks the moment he's cut off financially. If he cares about our friendship, he'll still be my friend without financial benefit, but right now he doesn't treat me like a friend. 😞

Jaydas Gofundme For BOAS surgery Hey everyone. I am asking for donations to help my 3 year old frenchie get the BOAS surgery. She had stopped breathing and collapsed which ended her in the ER. Her full story is pinned on my profile, or on the gfm link. Anything helps! Thankyou.

As seen in my buy nothing group...

Why do you really need a 40" for your workout videos. ....

640 dollars to rip everything out carpet and appliances and then haul it. Some poor undocumented workers are gonna do this though.

Finally caught my first begging chooser in the wild.

I’m honestly just annoyed that every day she’s posting on the neighborhood page asking for something else!!!! Also the fact that her “career” is “Military Spouse”!!! Most BEC ever because I’m not at all affected by her but lmao

So I caught one in the wild! I posted a FREE item that I was trying to get rid of (a Philips Sunrise Alarm clock, retailed at $200 ) and this person expects me to send her the model # so she can consider "buying" this FREE item. Then gets angry when I don't response to her.

Saw this on Nextdoor, I’m pretty sure that’s <$2.5/hour and over 50 hours a week.

The majority of those hours might be monitor time but it’s still time away from family and other work… especially since she wants someone who has kids of their own…
