I'm getting fed up with my roommate's financial situation. She has no car because apparently he parents gave the car that she was supposed to get to her sister. So, when she can't get a ride from anyone else, I drive her. She's my friend, I don't mind it...if she chipped in for gas. But she doesn't because she "doesn't have the money" to help me out. Thankfully she's getting more and more rides with other people. Now she's informed me that December's rent is going to be entirely my responsibility because her grandmother only gave her the amount of money it costs to live in the university dorms, and that doesn't include enough money for December. But she could easily pay rent and afford to help me out with gas if she had a job. What do I do about this rent situation if she doesn't get a job? My mom helps me with rent but I can't expect her to pay the entire thing. It's not her's or my responsibility to pay for my roommates half of the rent.
EDIT: It seemed at the time she wasn't going to pay me back, or that she just plopped all the rent on me without even trying to come up with the money, but I when I hinted at her last night with, "Sooo...how's that situation with December's rent coming?" and she replied something that meant she was really working on fixing the no-money situation. So I told her what I thought she told me, she said she probably will come up with the money and even if she didn't she would pay me back. She sort of sounded offended that I thought she would do something like that to me. Oops.
