Similar to the whole, \u201cgive a man a fish and he eats for a night. Teach a man to fish and he eats for the rest of his life,\u201d type advice. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always happy to help with budgeting or advice about loans or LoC\u2019s but after this thread I realize I may need to adjust my approach. I will be providing this friend with the funds and making it clear that paying me back is not expected, so as to not jeopardize our relationship.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Sirx99\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/Sirx99 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vqnyzz\/what_would_you_do_if_a_close_friend_asked_you_for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vqnyzz\/what_would_you_do_if_a_close_friend_asked_you_for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If someone you were very close with asked you for a nominal amount of money ($200-$500) with the intention of paying you back in a few weeks, how would you react?
