AIO for feeling like my boyfriend asks for too much from his friends?

I don’t know where else to post this. I love my boyfriend and he has a lot of supportive friends which is very sweet. He’s not the most well off and is struggling a little financially right now, but he’s employed part time and has snap benefits and I know for a fact he has food in his freezer.

He was going to make chicken wings but decided he wanted pizza and told me he was going to ask his friend to order one for him. It honestly upset me a little because just recently he asked another friend to buy him a skin in a video game that was like 20-30 dollars. And he often asks people to buy video games for him. And has access to one friend’s card to use in emergencies. Which he has joked about using for things he doesn’t need.

I told him if he had his own food he should try making that first and he seemed a little hurt about it. I feel bad but this is a consistent thing he does.

He asks people for things often but is very irresponsible with his own money. I understand asking people for things and reaching out when you need help but these things aren’t needs. It feels like he’s using his friend’s kindness.
