A few times I've been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.
But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He's got a good career now but struggled for a few years.
Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she's staying in my attic now. That's going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it'll all turn out well.
you seem like a great person IRL <3
Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We've all been lucky!
