text: my birth friend of 6 years..............? ................. recently gave birth, i am so broke that i cant even afford to spare a cent until month end.  should i wait until i get money to buy her a present before i go and see her baby or i can go empty handed and look un caring to the rest of her family. yes of course you should go see the new baby, if she is really a  friend she will understand about your finances. friendship is not about what or how much money you do or do not have. have you thought about making a present or card something that comes from the heart will have much more positive energy.
