Mine feels insignificant compared to a lot of these , but is still a semimajor fuck up . Had a friend when I was 18 and stupid that had been like a brother to me for a long time . Right after graduating from high school we decided to get our own place together . Found a town home in the city where we worked we were coworkers at the same place at the time that was pretty affordable , and his girlfriend and one of our other coworkers wanted to move in as well so it was split 4 ways . Should ' ve been about $ 350 a month with utilities and everything for each of us . Right after we moved in , this friends car broke down and his girlfriend got fired for smoking weed at work . He was panicking about how they were going to pay for rent and how he ' d get a new car . The car was worth maybe $ 300 on a good day so it wasn ' t worth fixing . I had some money saved up so I offered to help him by a new car and he could just pay me an extra $ 100 or whatever a month until we were even again . Trouble is he never started paying . The new car he got was an absolute junker so he spent all his money on that , food , and pot for him and his unemployed junkie girlfriend . We got kicked out of there before it had even been a full year because our landlord found out about them smoking in the house . He still owes me $ 2560 . He actually reached out to me for the first time in a year a couple days ago to give me $ 40 . I moved pretty far away and he wants me to drive down to him to pick it up . Not sure I ' ll ever actually find the time to go get it from him , but I guess it ' s nice that he ' s still trying .
