I end up paying

I have a couple of friends. Not a lot but I have a few. I’m also friends with my aunts who are close in age to me and also cousins. My problem is every time I go out with any one of them I end up having to pay. The excuses are usually the same they only brought cash and went over or they haven’t got paid. My friends are usually the ones asking and calling to hang out. So I’m like great! I’m thinking that we each pay for what we bought. But it never ends that way. Ever. I end up saying its ok I’ll pay after some time of oh I don’t have enough with me. I mean I don’t mind once in while to pay. It’s just that every friend I go out with and every time. This is ridiculous. And then when I do ask hey let’s go to a movie they all say the same thing we don’t have enough money to go. What I used to do was say hey I’ll pay no problem but now it’s been every time. Yes I know people are on hard times. But every time. They don’t make any less then me and when they go out with other friends I never hear how it’s a problem. Me and my friend went out to the movies once and sure enough she doesn’t have enough but the next day goes out and buys a dude she has a crush on a hundred dollar fruit bouquet and has it delivered to his office. He literally doesn’t know who she is. Is it possible tho that every friend is out of money. Or are taking advantage sigh. I don’t know but I’ve kept to my self for a while now and my friends are calling and asking to go out... 😔😒🤔🤑
