Hahaha, I had a friend around college time where we had the exact same dialogue every time:
- Hey, wanna go watch a movie?
- I can’t, I don’t have any money
- How many times have I told you, I’m asking you if you want to, not if you can, I’ll pay for you
I wasn’t rich or anything, but paying for that extra ticket or meal wouldn’t break my bank and he was my friend, I enjoyed hanging out with, so I would gladly spend that money to hang out with him.

Stuff like this is why I have a rule with my friends, because we are all varying levels of broke at various times.
Whomever suggests going out (typically no more than 3 people) must be fully prepared to cover the costs of everyone being invited. They usually don’t have to do so, but it ensures that nobody feels awkward because they can’t afford to go.

Good rule.
