<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I'll keep this short.

Today I decided to no longer associate with my best friend of over a decade. This is due to a mixture of his general inability to turn up where and when he says he will, his constant use of puerile and demeaning humour, and that fact that he "jokingly" called my girlfriend a bitch twice yesterday.

Fuck that. 

The issue is that he owes me a small sum of money (roughly $70).

Most months I'd let this go. I earn enough that I normally wouldn't even notice a sum that small being missing. However, me and my girlfriend are saving for a deposit on a house. We are leaving our current property in less than a month, and are only just going to make the deposit.

That $70 could really take the weight off the final week of the month.

 Is it worth being petty and pushing to get that money back? 

I have already sent him a message asking for it back, however I have not received the money or a response.
<bot>: I'm close to shit broke and former friend owes me small sum of money. Should I be an asshole and press for it the money to return?
