my few real friends have never asked me for money. My best friend showed up on night in finacial trouble with 3 bills he really needed to pay.I agree if they need gas money or $10 for lunch. As long as it’s not frequent I don’t keep track. Once we start getting into the triple digits, I say “no, I don’t have it and if I did, I like you too much to lend you money.”
I paid the bills for him. Hes the guy I can call anytime when I need help
