Comments on: When Should You Give Money to Support Your Friends’ Pursuits? http://thebillfold.com/2012/05/when-should-you-give-money-to-support-your-friends-pursuits/ Everything About Money You Were Too Polite To Ask Mon, 20 May 2013 16:51:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: eemusings@twitter http://thebillfold.com/2012/05/when-should-you-give-money-to-support-your-friends-pursuits/#comment-4057 eemusings@twitter Mon, 28 May 2012 02:00:43 +0000 http://thebillfold.com/?p=4814#comment-4057 On the last one: 2) Sometimes, if I am independently interested in the event or cause, or if I’m really close to the friend, or if the friend is actually talented. As for the other two...hmm. Probably 4. But if I ever find myself in a fundraising situation, I think anywhere up to $50 would be generous enough.

But for question A, $50 is A LOT for me right now (graduated college 1 year ago today, oy vey), so I would say $20. $20 is like 2 lunches out or one night of drinking in a bar if I order drinks based on maximum drunkenness per dollar spent, and I can definitely sacrifice that for a friend. 3, 2, 2.
