Gave my “best friend” money (apartment deposit & first + last month rent, utility deposit, and six months of car + rent insurance) after a nasty divorce when she had to support three kids from three different dads, all who were younger than 10. Once everything cleared never heard from her again… But she did use me as a job reference for years after disappearing and stealing my SSN to open a credit card.
Her now adult daughter texts me every couple months to tell me how much of a positive impact I had on her childhood though - so $50k well spent?? 🤦♀️
