with memorial day sales going on i started looking at washers again. the kids go through so many clothes and towels its insane. right now im doing at least 2 loads a day just to keep up. thinking about one of those all-in-one machines so i can just set it and forget it but i hear mixed things. anyone here use one for a busy house hold? does it really save time?
i’m 24 and i have a close friend who’s been struggling financially for a while. over the past few months, i’ve helped them out multiple times with small things like food, bills, and transportation because i genuinely didn’t want to see them struggling.
the problem is, i recently found out they’ve still been spending money on things that honestly don’t seem necessary right now… eating out a lot, buying random stuff online, going out drinking, etc.
i know people are still allowed to enjoy things even when they’re struggling, but part of me feels frustrated because i’ve been cutting back on my own spending to help them. now they’re asking for help again, and i honestly don’t know what to do. i feel guilty saying no because i know they are having a hard time, but i’m starting to feel taken advantage of too.
WIBTA if i stopped helping financially, even if it potentially hurts the friendship?
