Don't be so hard on yourself about lending money to a friend! I believe that sometimes we can be overly harsh on ourselves and see a negative in everything. I know I can be like that sometimes.

You might feel good when you help out a friend with rent because you are helping them through a tough spot. I think life is hard enough already, and having friends and family to help us through bumps in the road is great. My friends helped me through some tough spots in my life. I once went through a medical situation where, if it wasn't for my friends, I don't know how I would have mentally or financially gotten through the situation. I hope they feel great about what they did for me because they deserve it.

I appreciate the vulnerable post!
