<prompt> Human: I have a friend Ive known for 10 years and recently, he asked me to lend him more than 1,000 due to fixing his whole familys financial issues since theyre heavily in debt. This is the first time hes asked me for a favor like this. Ive always known that he wasnt in the best financial situations, but this is the first time where its gotten to a point where hes trying to ask me to help him out. I dont want this issue to come between us, as it might end up ruining our friendship and I dont want it to linger over him.I have more than enough money to pay that back, but its still a considerable amount to part with. Hes telling me that by the end of May, he will be able to pay me back, but personally, I believe thats speculative and its not guaranteed that he might be able to do so.Ive already asked for an outsiders perspective, overall, they said dont do it. I also just had a recent issue with my family where my father promised to help pay me back for the mortgage but it turned out to be an empty promise, so Im not too sure if I could afford to do this kind of thing again. Im 23 who recently graduated from college, so I got my own bills to pay like student loans, and etc.  <response>: If you can gift it, give it to him no strings attached and tell him that. Otherwise, you dont have the money to lend.
