'You decided to be mean': Frugal woman refuses to pay $70 to see close friend's concert, says she's 'not an artist'

One thing about being an artist is that it's hard to get paid to do it. There are so few people who make their livings from their art versus the millions of people who just do it for the love of the game. It's the life of many artists. You do what you can, on the weekend and nights, scraping together gigs, doing it on your own, and inviting friends to come support you. And if you're a good friend, you'll buy a ticket. You know you're not going to an Elton John concert, you're just supporting your friend's dream, but isn't that even better?

Of course, there are lines you must draw about how much you're willing to sacrifice to support them. Does $70 sound like the limit? One friend thought it was, and a debate ensued about how you should support your friends' artistic ambitions. Read on for the story.
