I've known my friend for over 20 years. About three years ago, she split with her husband about the same time I split with mine. We both have daughters about the same age so she and her daughter moved in to help balance out the financial situations for both of us. At the time, she had a decent job and so did I. But soon after she moved in with me, she lost her job, so I was back to the same situation as before, only now I had 4 mouths to feed instead of only 2.
For over a year and a half, she lived on Welfare and bought food for the "family" with her food stamps. When we moved into a bigger house, she once again had a decent paying job and therefore we signed the lease together. Once again, soon after, she lost that job too and "borrowed" money from me to pay her portion of the back rent. I got a "Can you help me pay this, I'll pay you back?" Being her friend, and also needing to keep a roof over my head, I paid about $600 in back rent for her out of my income tax return.
