Konglishman, I was similar and I stopped pretty much. This is lying but a way to keep some off you if you don't want to flat out say 'no'.
You have some sort of expense that takes up your money. A mortgage back home, grad school, a sick mother, an investment that you have to committ a certain amount, you owe taxes back home, repaying school loas, something, anything that leaves you with just enough money for you.

Shakespear was right in Hamlet "Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry."

My dad say, don't loan money but if you do, ONLY loan with an that you won't miss. Loan as if you don't expect it back. So, don't loan the rent money, don't loan the money you need for that liver transplant, loan an amount with the idea that you may never see it. That advice usually kept me from loaning too much.

You have a choice in friends. You chose unwisely.

Often living in Korea (or any other country) kind of forces people together who ordinarily would have nothing to do with each other.

Learning how to avoid the loons, whiners and deadbeats is an art in itself.
