AITA for refusing to lend my friend rent money after she blew her savings on a luxury vacation? (zerobytes.monster)

I have a frien, who just got back from a fancy vacation—think five-star hotels, designer shopping, and gourmet restaurants. She was posting about it nonstop. A week later, she suddenly texts me freaking out that she can’t afford rent and asks to borrow $500.

I told her no because, honestly, I think it’s her own fault. If you can afford luxury, you should be able to afford basic necessities, right? She got mad, called me a bad friend, and now she’s ignoring me. Some of our mutual friends even said I was being cold and that "not everyone has the same financial mindset."

I feel like I was just holding her accountable, but now I’m wondering—AITA?
