Shortly after I wrote this post I emailed my friend and asked for the money. Obviously in a polite "hey correct me if I am wrong but I thought you were going to give me some money for so and so." After a few back and forth emails, she said she would pay me (less than what I had expected/thought but more than nothing). That was almost a month ago. I still haven't seen the money. Not really sure what to do about it because I have had money issues with this friend in the past (and really should have known better in the first place), and know that I will never see the money if I don't keep on it, but is it really worth it? Should I just drop it and cross it off as a lesson learned? Should I say something again...and again...and again?

Sadly money and friendships rarely end up not mixing well. It is worse with family members sometimes. I wish I knew the answer myself.
Hmm in my opinion it really depends on how badly YOU NEED the money. If you are totally broke and this money makes a huge difference I would definitely keep on this friend and let them know that. If it's one of those things where you KNOW it's going to be a huge pain in le arse and you don't REALLLY need the money- then I would probably say something one more time about it- and then drop it if nothing happens... But this person DID agree to pay you- it's not like you are coming out of NOWHERE with monetary demands!
