'We're all broke': Would you chase a friend for £5?
"I prefer to do something where I get them this time and they get me next time but if I'm consistently paying and you're not, then I will request the $5."Unlike many, Annika doesn't find money conversations uncomfortable."I am so confrontational, I do not find it awkward. If you're my friend, you would pay me back."Annika's friend Hanako Stepper says she finds it awkward asking for money but wishes she didn't. And if the same friend repeatedly fails to pay, Pomfret suggests remembering it the next time you're about to pay for them and think twice.
