The No-Loan Policy
The Redditor will never lend money to anyone again after this incident. A friend approached them and asked for money, claiming they had no idea what they were doing. He didn’t take long to reveal that he wanted the money to buy drugs.
The Redditor stated that they would feel more at ease purchasing food for them, but they declined the offer, claiming that they do not require food as much as they do those substances. Who cares if you have food in your stomach as long as you can lose your senses?
With You or for You?
Patience, hard work, and, in many cases, monetary investments are required to learn any skill. This is why people are compensated in exchange for their services. It is unrealistic to expect a friend to work for them for free. You must understand that if you ask someone to do something for you, they will expect something in return.
It is not cooperating with you; rather, it is cooperating with you in exchange for money. If that thought gives you the creeps, become a jack of all trades and learn how to do everything yourself.
