With close friend, is Business means Business?

Do you have a friend, REALLY CLOSE FRIEND, that will always be there in your ups and down but when it comes to MONEY, you really cannot count on the person?

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS

That's what people always say when it comes to business. No friend. No best friend. No enemy. It is just business. But have you ever have someone that you can trust but not in 'these money related' thing? Like for example, you have a housemate that very close to you. You share your stories with the person. When you are down, the person will always be there listen to your stories. And you become to feel like the person is your very best friend, even you treat the person like your brother or sister.And so the other way around.

But when it's time for paying house bills, the person will use soooo many excuses in order for you to pay the bills on him/her first. Whenever end of the month, the person will suddenly gone. You feel like it is not fair for you to pay all the bills alone. You feel so angry that it is not your whole responsibility. But you can't mad at the person coz deep down inside your heart you also owe something to him/her. Something that could be more precious than money.

Same story if you sell something to your best friend then it takes soooo long for the person to pay. You are waiting for ages and you are tired in asking for the payment.

So what will you do if you have a best friend like this?

Most of the time, I couldn't handle this problem alone. Normally, I will ask my friend to talk to the person indirectly. Maybe like... say... your friend will say to your best friend that you really in need of cash. Or saying that you 'terpaksa' sold your jewelery because you need money to pay bills. So it hopes to remind the person that he/she is having 'hutang' to you.

What do you think? What you normally do if you face this kind of problem?
