Moocher Schmoocher. I had a "friend" that wanted me to make "lifestyle changes" just for him! (Specifically, he wanted me to train in MMA with him, and that's asking way too much.) Nevermind that I've done other favors for him, from giving him money to helping him find a job.
The only way to set them straight is as simple as it is difficult. You say, "NO!" and you keep your feet down. Sometimes, it's hard too. They come up with all kinds of semi-convincing reasons why you should do what they want you to do, and any reasons you have are merely excuses that they gleefully await for so they can find ways to tear it down.
These people are not friends. Just say, "NO!" and keep saying it until they get it. If they don't, ban them from your life.
