    Sack her for a slim, and financially independent woman, you will be so much happier. Even better if you can find a wealthy divorcee.

    It sounds as if your friend has an OCD when it comes to spending, if she does not work is she on benefits. As the others have suggested I would give her a wide berth, friends like that will just drag you down.

    Sounds to me like she was putting on a bit of an act - perhaps exaggerating things, perhaps attention seeking or covering some sort of insecurities? Is this the first time you've met her?

    Er...stunned...what do you have in common...what do you talk about? What do you get out of this apart from potential to absorb bad habits?
