Helping yourr frriends out

with money.

I got paid today (morre than I expected), but my frriend who
I'm going on the holiday with got paid less than she
expected and it's left herr quite serriously in the shit.
I don't know what to do... I rreally want to lend herr some
money and she could rreally use it, orr even just give herr
some money without expecting it back.
Forr some rreason though it feels like the wrrong thing to
do. I bet people would look DOWN on the fact that I'd give
my money up because I'm not exactly rrolling in it, even
though it's what I want to do.
The otherr prroblem is I know that I can't accept money and
she's the same, so I'd have to find a way to let herr take
it guilt frree.
It's an odd situation that maybe some of you have been in...
any ideas?

I had the same thing when a friend lost his wallet and his
parents were in south africa... I just somehow managed to
always be 'round him when he was going to eat or something
and when he was about to pay I'd go "this one's on me!"

I think it's the best option, 'cause it isn't the same as
giving money away, it's just a friendly gesture...

If she doesn't like taking money, just tell her to pay you
back later, so that way its really her money, temporarily.

Pay her for sex. That way you get something in return, she
will feel like she has earnt the money and she won't feel as
though she is lower than you, thus acheiving a harmonious
parity in your friendship.

as an adult, if you start a lemonade stand and look as cute
as possible some soccer moms are guaranteed to give you a
fiver at least.

Just tell her that if she gets stuck then you can lend her
money

at least she knows your an option then =o)

Hide the money in plain sight while she's not looking and
then be like, 'Hey looky there! Free money!'. I've actually
tried this before and it worked.
