How many times would you help
...a friend. I have a life long friend...who cannot seem to get his shit together. Over the years I have bailed him out of financial difficulty four previous times. The first time he paid me back...the second time he almost paid me back...the third and fourth times he barely made an effort to pay me back. He is asking me to assist him again...to the extent of $10,000. If I bail him out...I am fully aware that I will receive very little...if any...repayment. I love the guy as we have been friends since childhood...and he really is a nice guy...but does not seem to be a very good manager of money...ie lives above his means.
My first tendency is to give him the money...but I wonder if helping him out...is really helping him out?
