Cosmopolitan. "3 Ways to Deal with a Cheap Friend." Magazine post. Cosmopolitan.com. Shine from Yahoo!, 17 Feb. 2010. Web

How to deal: " Rally your friend by making it a challenge to see how much fun you can have for $10 or $20. (She can pretty much pull that amount of cash out of thin air with one of these painless money-saving switches.) Or agree to set a limit of how much cash she's comfortable spending and promise to head home as soon as you both reach your total, no matter what. (But getting guys to buy you drinks is totally legit.) By sticking to your word, you're proving to your friend that being broke doesn't have to be boring," says Debra Condren, author of Ambition Is Not a Dirty Word.
