I'm not going to give my friend a $50 itunes giftcard
Had you planned to give them the gift card? What changed your mind?
People shouldn't expect me to give them gifts all the time just because I have a good job.
I understand what you're saying. Sometimes people try to take advantage of you if they think you make a lot of money. That can be frustrating. Try to share a little with others, maybe give them a lower value gift card?
Are you telling me I need to buy things for them? Forget it, what have they done for me?
No you don't have to give them anything, it's up to you. I was just saying you could buy them a small gift for a special occasion, but you don't need to feel obligated to do so. Tell your friends how their requests make you feel.
