I think more than once risks damaging the relationship.
There's so many variables, though - I don't know that that always applies.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think I'll leave a note on his door to please split his tips with me until he is paid off.
I tried, "I got some great soup recipes from my imaginary friends that I'd love to make [edit: for him!] if only I had some money." But apparently that was too subtle.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think that telling him "I need this amount of money by this date in order to pay these bills for our apartment -- please get it to me" might go over better than telling him exactly HOW to budget his money to get it to you.

I feel awful because we've been getting along great but I got along great with my last roommate until he got behind in the bills and then suddenly he thought I was a bitch.

...and technically I have the money for the bills, I'd just like to be able to buy some food and pick up my dry cleaning. It really irks when he comes home from work, changes, and goes out clubbing. I want to grab him and say, "that's my money you're spending!"

Whether you can afford the bills on your own or not shouldn't be the issue, Laga. He owes you the money and he should be giving it to you in a timely manner. I agree with Hil though, don't tell him what money he should use just that he owes it to you and needs to get it to you asap.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Nothing wrong with reminding someone how much is owed, and that you need it by NOW. As long as it's a polite reminder and not shooting of kneecaps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Unless he's spending the money on stuff he doesn't need, like expensive cowboy boots and Vuarnet sunglasses.
Yep, I've been there... sucky college days....

I spent my very first paycheck on cowboy boots.
of course, I was still living at home with my parents.

See, it's funny, cuz he's a big dog and he gets involved in all sorts of funny situations, being a big dog and all. Did I mention "funny"?
