I just lost last friend I had, we had a fight about money and I tried to apologize today but she wouldn’t hear it, so that really sucks cuz she’s pregnant and her babies do in April and I was going to be part of her life and now I’m just nothing to her all because of money… Even told her I was like I’d rather be your friend than have money, she owes me $75 and I’m erasing the debt but the fight got her so worked up it didn’t matter, now I’m home by myself and it looks im going to be by myself for a while

Sometimes, people just need to cool off, after a fight. Try giving her a week or so, and then try apologizing again? If you did anything wrong, make sure to own up to it.
My advice, is never to borrow or lend money, between friends. Because that puts you in a business type of situation. But you’re not business partners, you’re friends. So, I recommend not dealing with money within a friendship, in the future, UNLESS nobody is expected to pay the money back. For example, you can GIVE money, but don’t expect it back, and make that clear. At least, that’s the advice my father gave to me.
I hope everything works out for you.

I know this ship has already sailed, but my policy is that I don’t loan to friends. If a friend really needs a bit of cash and I can spare it then it is gifted to them and there is absolutely no expectation of payback, ever. Friends cover each other when they can and don’t keep score.

Thank y’all, the money was mainly gas I was driving around everywhere and it just ended up adding up but it’s definitely not worth the friendship so… I’ll give her some time like suggested and hopefully she doesn’t hold a grudge for a long time

YES, YES, YES. This is what I was trying to say in my comment, too.
