[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you can't know for sure what kind of expenses they may have.  Perhaps some of they racked up a lot of credit card debt which they are aggressively paying down but are too ashamed or embarrassed to say so, even to close friends.  I guarantee you that such a scenario is far more common than you might expect.  Maybe they are helping out a family member financially and again are reluctant to admit it to friends, either out of embarrassment or respect for the person.  You just don't know.

Undoubtedly some of your friends have just not been as good as preparing financially for emergencies as they should have.  In that case, have some compassion.  They haven't been taught good financial management, or they have emotional reasons for spending that they haven't come to terms with, or whatever.  Maybe they have just been careless.  In any case, they are going to learn a tough lesson.  Surely, you can muster some kind feelings toward friends?[/quote]

These are good points.
I do sympathize with them verbally. I don't express out loud what I have said here in this forum. But I still think that people who get paid six figures and can't go a month without a paycheck should try to re figure their spending.[/quote]
