I have three really important things to do, all of which need money.

Two close friends of mine owe me money, I gave them all they had with the hope that they'd return it back to me on the first of august, but it's now 23. I can't intimidate them, or force them, I understand they may have their own problems, but I don't think they really care. I'm too ****ing kind, and being generous gives people the impression that I'm rich, I'm not!

I have three really important things to do, all of which need money, and I have no money.

I don't want to ask my parents for anymore this month, I've already used up my allowance, I'm literally begging for my own money. I hope I get some of my money back from my friends on monday or I'm screwed.

They do not sound like friends at all. Assuming that the amount they borrowed was reasonable enough to return given their situation - if you know it - that isn't fair to you especially if they were aware it was all you had.

Then let it be just that. Their problems.

The month is basically over; from now on every time you see or hear from them bring up the fact that they owe you this money. Don't hesitate because they'll see that as opportunity to reason with you. This is your money after all. When they complain that you're being annoying tell them it's annoying for you to not have had your money already!

You have every right to be upset with them for taking advantage but it was at your inconvenience that you gave them the money too. Personally, if this has happened before, I would question why I gave them the money to begin with. You know not to do this next time...and generally with people like that there will be one...

They have to give at least some of my money on monday or I'm screwed. I hope I learn a lesson this time, I live away from home and my parents cannot bail me out every time.
