Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : About a year ago I left my job for a new one. I haven't really stayed in touch with many of my old colleagues, just a select few. 
About 2 weeks ago I received a text from an unknown number, saying it was Girl N from X workplace and she was inviting me to a farewell dinner for another ex coworker. I thought it was a nice gesture as I would be able to catch up with the old team, so I said yes. 

Since I said yes, she has been texting me constantly asking me to put money towards a goodbye gift for this other girl. 

There are a couple of reasons why I don't want to. The top (salty) reason being, when I left the job, I got invited as an afterthought to someone else's goodbye party like "oh yeah, you left like 2 months ago didnt you! Let's make it a joint party" and didn't get so much as a thank you let alone a gift. 

Second reason is more reasonable, I feel. I haven't been paid for the last 2 weeks and I won't be paid again until next Friday. She's only asking $10, but at the same time....I only have $30 and some cash to last me a week. 

So, WIBTA if I refused to pitch in for this gift, but still attend the dinner?
