Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Context:

My friend, we'll call him Steven, loves to go out to eat with his friends. Almost weekly. A lot of the times I don't have extra funds to go out with them because I have bills to pay. Rent, Phone, Car, Car ins, Credit card, groceries, etc. and my job isn't very lucrative. Well Steven on the other hand is currently in school and is in the position where he doesn't have to pay bills.

Almost every weekend Steven will message the group chat to go out and more often than not I'll say "sorry guys budgets tight this week" and steven hits me with the "I gotchu" and every time he says that I am extremely hesitant. For whatever reason when people spot me or give me money I get extremely uncomfortable but every time he always convinces me.

Of course I am very courteous and grateful that he does this. I always order a dish that costs less than his meal, I only order 1 drink, and I always try to be the one that tips the waiter so I feel like I'm contributing somewhat.

Well recently he made a snarky comment that put me on my heels, he said in the group chat "Am I gonna have to pay for StromboliMans night out.... Again?" I'm sure he was joking because that's just our group, we give each other shit for shits and giggles but for some reason that really irked me. Like it felt as if it was super passive aggressive and it just made me feel like a mooch/asshole. This was one of the nights where I had some extra funds and wanted to buy a round of beer and shots for my homies but that comment made me feel miserable so I flaked last minute, so I just need to know... AITA?
