AITA For Refusing To Help My Friend Pay Rent After She Spent Her Money On Concert Tickets?

AITA For Refusing To Help My Friend Pay Rent After She Spent Her Money On Concert Tickets? ----- AITA For Refusing To Help My Friend Pay Rent After She Spent Her Money On Concert Tickets? She Makes Expensive Purchases, Eats My Food, But Doesn't Pay Rent Or Return The Money ----- I live with my friend Taylor, and for the most part, we used to split everything — rent, bills, groceries — 50/50. I’m a student with a part-time job, and she works full-time. Things were tight financially, but manageable. That changed when, the day before rent was due, Taylor told me she couldn’t pay her half because her paycheck was short. She asked if I could cover her just this once. I was stressed, but I agreed. The next day, she posted videos on Instagram from a huge concert. When I confronted her, she admitted she bought the ticket a month ago and didn’t think she’d be this tight on money. I told her it wasn’t fair that I had to cover rent while she splurged. She got defensive, said I was being harsh, and we barely spoke for days. Then I started noticing more — expensive shopping bags, new designer clothes, and her helping herself to my groceries without asking. One day she ate half my prepped meals and brushed it off like it was no big deal. That was my breaking point. So I sat down, calculated everything I had covered — rent, food, bills, cleaning supplies — and gave her a printed breakdown in an envelope with a note: “This is what I’m owed.” She was shocked, called me cruel and petty, and stormed off. Two days later, she called her parents. The next morning, I found an envelope on the kitchen table — a check from her dad, covering every cent. Now? We still live together, but things are different. Taylor pays her share early, covers bills on time, and hasn’t touched my food since. We only have surface-level conversations. The friendship’s not what it was, but the drama is gone. I don’t think she’s a bad person — just someone who was used to being rescued. But now she knows: I won’t be the one to do it. I wasn’t the asshole. I was just done being treated like a backup plan — like her personal wallet and chef. ----- #redditfamily #reddit #familyrelationships #redditstories
