I think you should remain friends, but just let them know that you’re concerned about their financial situation and don’t think you’re going to be able to assist them if they refuse to take your advice.

@anon96203037 I have money saved up from working full time while I was living in the group home. That’s it. Just enough to pay the bills while I’m on disability

No my mistake I’ve been on benefits 4 years not 5.
You’re thinking of cutting friendship because they’re having a hard time?
Yeah, that’s super dirty. They’d be better off without a fair weather friend.

Wow. People who have savings. I took out a personal loan so I would have money to move with. True the money is in savings, but I have a loan to payoff. I usually don’t have any money saved. My only problem is I won’t be able to move to the place I want which is more expensive until I pay the loan back. I focused on doing just that. I is a two year loan, and I have 19 payments left.
My brother-in-law said he may help me with the security deposit though. He just found a job, so he may do that now down the line.
I dunno, at some point you have to recognize when a relationship is a drain on your mental health? I’m just thinking of my experiences with cutting people off

The reasons outlined were all based on that person’s finances. Supposedly they said they wouldn’t ask for money.
Just dropping someone because they’re in a tough place is dirty.
I have rich friends, poor friends, friends that are going through chronic health problems, friends with relationship problems, and would never dream of dropping one because they are in a bad spot.
That isn’t what real friends do. You cannot call yourself a friend if you’d consider doing that. It’s despicable.

I disagree. Different people have different tolerances for stress, and if Mae is feeling like this is too much to handle, I think she’s well within her rights to take a step back

Feel free to disagree. That’s the beauty of the world. We can all have our opinions.

I agree with you. I cut out ppl right when they start to negatively affect me. I am not suffering for them.

I have to wonder, though, how many close friends do you have that you can call on for support?
