    ah yes. being greedy towards your best friend and relationship for checks note $3000…

    i know this is a joke but some people would actually do this…

    like im single so cant speak on that front but even if my friend asked for $5000 id still give it to him.

    if you dont help your best friend with everything you can, are you really his best friend? or is he just some dude thats chill to hang out with?

      Geesh, only checks note $5,000? You people are so greedy these days

      I live in a car and sell my body on the streets so I can cover my friend’s college tuition.

      If you don’t help your best friend with everything you can, are you really his best friend? or is he just some dude thats chill to hang out with?

            sell whatever the fuck i can, take up a second job, rack up more debt if i must.

            yall use the wird friend way to lightly, a friend is a ride or die, someone you trust deeply. what you guys mean is an acquaintance

              If that debt is accruing interest, it might be a good idea to do that to get out of debt while you still can. The deeper you go, the harder it is to get out. That’ll let you help your friends in the future without as much of a negative impact on your own situation.

              An acquaintance is someone you know of but rarely interact with. You may be familiar with eachother in a broad sense, but haven’t spent time together. Friends are anything greater than that, but it’s not a singular category. A good friend is not a best friend, and a bad friend can still be a friend when the time is right.

              If you’ve got people in your life who’s bond with you is strong enough to put yourself into debt for, knowing they’ll do all they can to make it right after? Then you’ve got some damn great friends.

      Heck no, I bailed an ex-friend for 20$, depending on the month, 20-50$ max is what I would give to all my friends combined.

      Right now, that is 0$

      I’m the same, but the last friend I lent 3k to for her rent ended up ghosting me so she wouldn’t have to pay me back. I’m not sad. Its honestly money well spent to know how little our friendship is worth.
