One view: Find a new, better, friend.

Another view:

Human relationships are complex. There aren't any rules about how one defines who is going to be a friend and who is not. Obviously, friendships involve some level of trust, and your friend is violating that trust. Here are some questions I would ask myself if I were in your position:

1. How long have I known this person?

2. At what point did I decide that this person was considered a friend?

3. Is my friend aware of their Behavior?

4. How long and how often has my friend been been engaging in this behavior?

5. Has my friend been repeating this behavior with others, or just myself?

Based on these questions you can decide if you've established a genuine friendship with this person and if you want to maintain an ongoing friendship or if you want to end the friendship now.

Either way, You owe it to your self and your friend to be honest about your concerns with being used for money. Plan on having a heart to heart conversation with your friend. Approach the situation calmly, stating that you've observed that your friend is engaging in this behavior - present just the facts as you see them. Ask your friend to confirm that what you've observed is true. By asking your friend to confirm this, you are not accusing them, you are simply asking them to confirm what you've seen and to share their perspective. This should reveal that your friend is either in agreement with your perspective or it may reveal that you have misunderstood their behavior.

If your friend becomes defensive, draw the conversation back into the point that you are concerned about your friendship, and you just want to understand their behavior and to communicate to them how it makes you feel. It's ok to rehearse how this conversation might go, but don't let it become rehearsed or scripted. Just remember to keep the conversation from becoming a blame session or a defensive response on their part. Your goal should be to understand why this is/continues to happen and to save your relationship. Remain calm and control the conversation by not getting drawn into a fight. Your friend will sense this if you stick with it.

Good luck. You and Your friend will grow in your ability to have an honest open conversation about a difficult topic and you can make an informed decision about the relationship.
