A reader asks for advice on how to handle her friend who has been impulsively spending money she received from a GoFundMe campaign.
A close friend of mine, who I’ve been urging for years to save for a rainy day, is now facing a very real storm.
I’ve been managing updates on her journey, but the truth is, she’s always been impulsive with money, spending big bonus checks on gambling, cruises, cars, fancy restaurants and vacations rather than building a safety net. Now, with this diagnosis, her past spending and sharing it all on social media habits are coming back to haunt her.
