Friends and Money

---

Dear Miss Fortune Cookie, 

My friend likes to go out for lunch all the time. I don’t have much money, so I order something small. My friend always eats way more than I do, and then she wants to split the bill. When I try to pay for my share, she says, “I hate people who make a fuss over a few dollars.” What should I do?

Dear Mad

Money can’t buy you love. 

Maybe they mean the same thing. 

Here’s a little practical advice. Whenever you go out with your friend, tell her you’re not hungry. Don’t order anything and see what happens.
