Just stop giving, and start expecting them to give. Call them on it. Either they'll smarten up for a while and start to contribute, or they'll just find someone else to soak from.

Hi friend,
Leechy people will always be around as long as there are people who couldn't say "NO". The most effective way to get rid of leechy people is to simply refuse what they're asking from you..There are 3 ways they will respond..1st, they will INTIMIDATE you with shouts & yells..2nd, they will go to a "POOR-ME" approach & 3rd, they will ATTACK YOUR EGO by putting you down, then daring you to prove otherwise. The "can't-say-no" guys usually give in at this stage. Don't. Make a solid stand. One most effective technique is to keep repeating the same answer, which is "NO". Then don't justify or give explanation why you're saying it because it will only give them another opening to move in. Once they realized you won't budge..They'll move away and find another victim to suck dry.

Simply don't allow it to happen. If you have friends that show signs of being leeches, then get rid of them right away.

Tell them all no... It may seem hard or it may not... but if they're true friends they wouldn't be using you... and don't worry if they get upset... just tell them they'll get over it
