My friend is 21.She lives with her 23 year old fiance in a $700 a month apt.She's in college,doesn't work.He just got fired & decided to open his own business hosting roleplaying tournaments.His business plan is completely unrealistic,so they have no income.Her mom pays for EVERYTHING on credit cards even though she can't afford it.Rent,utilities,2 cells w/diff companies,cable,internet,insurance,car.The only thing she doesn't pay for is food b/c they're on foodstamps.She's also paying for their wedding/honeymoon.She's supposed to be in full-time school,but only takes 1-2 classes per semester if she doesn't fail or drop those.Me & my fiance are the same age but completely opposite.We both work full-time & go to college.We pay for everything including school & our wedding/honeymoon.My friend constantly complains that we don't spend any time with her and when we are able to spend time together all she does is complain about money.It's starting to drive a wedge between us.What should I do?

It's also made worse because she seems to feel entitled to the money she gets. She's always coming to me when she gets in a fight with her mom about money...but I just don't agree with any of it, so she gets mad if I don't say anything, but also mad if I tell the truth.I just can't lie. I'm not going to do it.

Plus she's always making bad financial decisions...she has 5 credit cards maxed out and spent an $11,000 loan in 4 months. And they're also trying to have a baby now.She wants me to just go along and agree with all this and I just can't do it.

your friends definitely have issue, apparently, they have not an ounce of responsibility.
where do they get the idea, they are OWED anything.
I worked raised 3 children, as a single parent, worked full time, went to school full time and graduated with a 3.5 average and received an associates degree in nursing.
Break away from these loser or they will drag you down.Life is full of choices, make the right one, continue being yourself.

Sounds like your friend is on a downhill slide. It also seems you have very little in common with her, she certainly doesn't share your values, so why do you want to be friends? What are your fiances feelings towards them? I think those are the questions you should be asking yourself.

Maybe it's best to have a sit down talk and iron everything out.Sort of a pros and cons type thing....
