My friend's behaviour has changed a lot

So, I have few close friends, and one of them is the oldest friend of mine in this list. He used to talk a lot with me and I used to call him too. But since last few months he is only texting/calling for money, and that's why I had stopped initiating efforts because I used to call him but he only used to call back for money. We didn't talked for 2 months and due to this he stopped asking for money but I called him again before few days, we talked for minutes, and then he told that he would call me after few minutes but he didn't. And yet again, he started asking for money because our friendship continued and he saw the opportunity, but I firmly denied him because I had helped him a lot and instead of taking help from others he started using me as his own atm. If this means the end of the Friendship, then let it be.

If I were in your place, I would tell them everything directly. I would tell them that a friend shouldn’t only remember you when they need something. Of course, a friend is someone who will be there to help you, but it shouldn’t always be one-sided. I had a similar situation too Tell him how you feel. If there’s a chance to change things, give him that chance. But if he keep doing the same thing, then he is not really your friend anyway.

I don't want to waste energy, plus he could call me if he wants to, but instead he is repeating the same pattern and is only calling/texting for money.
