AIBU to expect friend to share a referral bonus she got because of me?

[Concernedforfriend1]

Hi all,
I have know my best friend for 10 years. We are in our late 20s. I would say we are more like sisters than friends and have been through a lot together. Often we have been each other's only support system.
We work in the same field and she got a £2000 referral when I joined the same agency as her. Obviously, she would not have got that referral if I hadn't joined.
We live together and initially she had said we should use the money to pay for household expenses, the weekly food shop, nice dinners together etc. Of note she was the one who told me excitedly about the referral bonus, otherwise I would have never known, as the company emailed her directly.
When we next did our food shop (we always did this together) I asked if we should use the money to pay for it (it was on a pre-loaded credit card. In the past one of us would pay for the whole shop and we would split it after). She then became a bit awkward and said she would actually like to just keep the money to herself as money has been a bit tight recently.
AIBU to feel like because she only got this referral bonus because I joined the agency, it should be shared?

It is hers. She maybe was so grateful she really did want to share. But life caught up with her and she realised she has a problem it would be helpful for.

You don't know her financial situation and maybe it's not good.

You could remind her that she said you could half the bonus on food etc but you were thinking since she last implied she needed the funds you totally understand as it's her money, but you won't say no if she wants to spend some of it on a nice meal or something for the two of you over the festive period and you'll do the same if you refer someone and get a bonus too ie take her for a meal.

Then leave it at that. Ball in her court.

Then you go hire someone and get your own bonus.

Yes it should be and she said it herself. Ask her to pay for the next food shop etc.

It's her referral bonus but she shouldn't have said it would be spent on stuff for the house and bills. You try to refer someone and get yourself a bonus.
