What lengths would you go to, to help a freind?

hey all~ i agree that part of it depends on how long you have known the friend. yet another integral part is how good of a friend the person is to you. as a general rule i think it is good to try to help people! for my closest and best friends, i would do just about anything necessary to help them....with a few select friends i share basicly everything with anyways, so helpin them isnt that hard then again, we share so we can help eachother! ~j

Well this situation could turn out good or bad. On one hand she is your friend and people do feel like they should help their friends. That's what a good friend does....helps each other in times of need. But on the other hand you can also see all the time where it can ruin a friendship, because one person loans another money and they don't ever pay it back. So you have to think before you loan her money....would I be upset if she didn't pay it back? Sound's like you are trying to be a good friend though. Just beware!

I guess it is compassion, you love your friend more than she knows. But it depends upon you, if you have the money then go for it. Me and my friends knew each other for so long now, we can borrow/lend others without even thinking twice if they'd return the money or not. The important thing is, we helped one another and showed our compassion for each other..

I think if you have the extra money and could make it all month then you can help I mean I am the d&d for my friends because they all drink and I don't I would not want them to get killed or anything.

You are just a compasionate person. I drove 8 hours with my horse trailer to pick my best friend and her horse up when she broke up with her boyfriend. She had a car, but no way to get her horse home, as well as all her stuff. She called, I came. Friends help each other when they need it. While I'm not of a means to help financially, if I had the money and the friend really needed it, I would probably loan it to her. But as a rule of thumb, never loan money if you can't afford to lose it.

I think it depends on how long you have been friends with her, how deep the friendship is, and do you trust her. Either way, if the money is a gift or a loan, get it in writing as a contract what you expect, in terms of repayment or no repayment.
