Q: My best friend, Jackie is a free-loader. She never has money when we go out. How can I tell her to start contributing her fair share?
A: Hey Jackie, the event on Friday will cost ($). Let me know in advance if you will be able or unable to financially afford the event so that I may add or remove you from the event list.
NOT A GOOD ANSWER: calling her a free-loader or keeping the event a secret.
