[quote=Anonymous]Guess this is more of a vent

I've had these friends for almost 20 years. They always had money until a few years ago. Now they are having to realize the error in spending BUT 
aside from constantly stating they have no money they haven't changed much. I know they have had a few bad years so I try too help when I can. Basically pay for meals, take care of their animals for free (while they are away) watch their kids at night for free. It's more like a family thing. Cause they help me too when they can. 
But they are constantly going on vacations. If its not the adults (me left with kids) or all of them (me left with pets) 
This summer they are staying almost two months in their summer house (they have been trying to sell). 
Just last weekend the adults went on a long romantic vacation. And three weeks before that they did the same thing. 
It's electronics too. They have never waited for their phone contracts to expire -just pay the cancellation fee and get new ones for the whole family (6 total) or ipads new one comes out they are the first to get them. Or the gizmos that go with them.

I'm really tired of feeling sorry for them. I'm tired of hearing oh I can't do this or that I'm so broke. 
Ugh. They (both husband and wife) have been my friends fir 20 years  and I wont end the friendship because of it. Its just becoming draining.

Sorry this is a vent. :([/quote]
