So I got a new roommate in November who’s a bit of a flake. This is her first place away from her parent’s home, and basically she’s awful with her money. She takes her friends out, paying for everything. She buys stupid amounts of random junk that she can’t even unpack because there’s only so much space in her bedroom. Plus she ran out and got a car with payments that are absolutely outrageous. Then when it comes time to pay rent she’s in tears because it’s the last of her money and she won’t be able to eat.
Well as far as I know right now she hasn’t eaten since Friday when she got paid (she’d spent her entire paycheck by Saturday). She has no food in the kitchen because she never has enough to shop. And she sits around eyeing my food, and crying to her friends on the phone because her stomach hurts.
This girl is NOT my friend. We met on Craigslist. I don’t feel any obligation to feed her because she’s a moron with her money. Does that make me a bad person? Am I in the wrong here?
Am I Supposed To Feed My “starving” Roommate Who Blows Her Cash Stupidly?

Don’t pay for her. She needs to learn the hard way about using her money. Once she goes broke she’ll start considering to use her money wisely.
Tell her to start paying her share of the bills and to make sure she has food before spending money on anything else. Tell her if she wants to live like she did with her parents, then she needs to go back to them because you are not obligated to take care of her. Give her a time period to get her act together or you’re going to ask her to leave and get a new roommate.
How about sitting her down and telling her to give you money for her food and rent each time she gets paid. Right off the top before she can spend the money. You buy the food for her. She knows by now that she needs food.
She is NOT going to change because she does not know how. She was not taught these things at home.
No. You’re right. She is a moron and it sounds like crying on the phone to her friends while eying your food is a manipulative tactic. I’d find myself another roommate and don’t show her any mercy or she will only learn how to keep taking advantage of people.
No you are not wrong nor are you a bad person. If you start to let her eat your food then she will come to expect it. You are not her mother so if she can’t manage her money then she is going to realize she will be hungry.
Sorry to say, but I think its time for a new roommate. It won’t get better with this person. It will only get worse. Also, to answer your question, you are under no obligation to feed her. She is a grown woman.
Yes, you are not obligated to feed her. However, you can help her out, there’s nothing wrong with that. You could try to help her get over her obsession of objects.
No you’re not obligated to help her. You have your own budget.
If you feel compelled to help her out of the kindness of your heart, then do it. But if you don’t, don’t.
This is just the beginning of this girl’s troubles. I would get rid of her.
If she’s that immature (or mentally challenged) then she should go back to live with her parents and let them feed her.
Dont feed her. Tell her to call some of the friends she took out so they can feed her
Move out & live alone.
No, you each are responsible for your own lives. I might be compassionate to do it one time, but telling her that I have seen how poorly she manages her money and if you see the continued behavior you won’t be so compassionate a second time. There are only three priorities in life–a roof over your head, food in your stomach, and a job to support the first two. You should never spend a dime until you have secured those three vital elements to life.
