You're in a group, a friendship, a romance, and certain things just aren't working. It might be money, it might be scheduled events, it might be communication.
You've tried everything you know to try, and everyone involved is doing their best. What's happening?
Someone in the situation is incompetent - for example, someone simply can't handle money - and their incompetence dooms any attempts.
There's no fixing this with them or for them. They will not improve and they will not learn. Exit this interaction - you can do other things with them, but not what they are incompetent at.

Necessity vs. Nice
If a thing needs to happen, and the person who needs to make it happen isn't, and you don't think it's the nice thing to require them to correct their behavior, then you are misunderstanding the situation.
Necessity and nice aren't opposites. Necessity means that the change has to happen - nice matters only in how you tell them. Tell them nicely and politely what the problem is, and what your first thoughts on a solution are.
If they choose not to do what's needed, then you're not in a situation where nice applies, you're in a confrontation with a person who refuses to do what you require.

Focus on What You're Good At
You may have wanted to be a concert pianist or an astronaut as a child. Now you discover that you have a mind for details and an intuitive grasp of numbers. You are making amazing progress as an accountant.
Which should you follow? Your dreams, or your aptitudes?
Both, of course! You should do what you're good at, what you're built for, what your life choices makes easy and fun for you. Don't push yourself to be what others over the years told you was right - double down on what you do best, do it even better, and earn more, have more fun, and take better care of those around you.
