<prompt> Human: I travel a lot for my job so I dont see him much. The total debt added up to 2000 originally and has since been brought down to around 1000 over the passed 6 years. I had to pay my best friendroommates rent when he was struggling with money to avoid bad credit and late fees. He paid me about 400 of it in 2011another 100 in 2015and now 350 a few months backHe finally has a good job now and makes probably 5 times more a year then I do. I dont think hes in any debt since he never went to college. Ive asked at least over 10 times for the money but since Im always gone its like out of site out of mind for him. Ive suggested he makes small payments to me and that was when he gave me the 100 in 2015 and then told me he was broke the next month. So that obviously didnt workout... Im now the one struggling with money and recently got him to help me pay half of my rent 3 months ago the 350 He broke down and apologized for how long it has taken him to pay me back but told me hes going to finally do it now that he has a good job. Its now been 3 months since that day and I have also left town once again. I havent heard anything from him about it since. We only talk once in a while about some bs here and there. I hate bringing it up because I shouldnt have to. Any suggestions of how to get this guy to finally pay me back even though I wont see him again for another 6 or 7 months?  <response>: Never gonna happen.
