I have a friend who , about every other week is dealing with some sort of money-related problem she is having. She usually calls me to vent her frustrations and goes into a long drawn out story abou how this and that happened, or she paid Company X and they said that they didn't get her check, and now she has come up with X amount of dollars by the next day. This is every other week it is always something. When she calls me, she usually pause and it will be silent a bit, as if she is waiting for me to respond ( perhaps with money), I dont always know what to say to her. After the long pause, she gets of the phone in a hurry, but have a disgusted tone in her voice. I have helped her out few times in the past, but I refuse to make this a habit. I suggested her going to get a small loan, since she works at the bank, but she says she can't. What are some ways I can respond? I don't feel comfortable with loaning money to friends, nor do I want to keep bailing her out each time.
