  My best friend? Gets the cash no questions asked.

  If I needed additional follow ups, then he’s not really my best friend.

    I kinda disagree. I trust my best friend completely. I would still want to know the reason. My fear would be that he needs more help than just the money, and that he was afraid to ask for too much help, or enough money. He would get it anyways though

    2k though? That’s not a small chunk of change. That would wipe out a lot of people’s savings.

      I can only answer for myself, but in that case then we’re going to figure something out. It would be a shitty situation, but not one that can’t be overcome.

      That’s the point of having savings. You could just as easily ask yourself what you would do if you spent 2k on car repairs and suddenly your friend urgently needs financial assistance the next day. If you need to spend that money, then you spend it. If you can’t, then you deal with the consequences.

      Those sound like American problems.

      I have solid savings, don’t need a car, and can wash dishes just fine.

        … You know there are places other than the US, right? It seems like a really unhealthy mindset to assume everything you can’t personally relate to must therefore automatically be about America.

    This is something a friend would say

  I definitely called a friend once while traveling abroad when ALL my shit got stolen and was like “yo, I need money” and after some story telling for identity verification he just sent me a grand (which went a long way in S(?)E Asia).

  I obviously paid him back when I got home but it fully saved my ass. What a guy

  If my friend needed 2k like, tonight, I’m assuming it’s ransom and that we’re mobbing out.
