You don't have to say yes to every expensive plan to be a good friend.
Things to try
- "I can't make dinner, but can I join for dessert?"
- "That's not in my budget this month. Could we do a picnic instead?"
- Suggest a regular low-cost tradition: a potluck, a walk, a game night
- Be honest; most people have budgets too
