I can imagine what one person could spend $5k on in 8 months. Heck, I've done it multiple times over. I got a new card worth $2k in law school and maxed that puppy in ONE MONTH! My parents paid off $11k for me when I graduated, and told me in no uncertain terms they would not be doing that again.

Your friend picking up 2 extra jobs shows she might be ready to make that push, but her parents are a hindrance. Don't try to fight them, just do your best to help her, and if she appears ready to take her parents up on their offer, then there's not much you can do. I wish you both well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906572887348350156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803066853965940833.post-80930079465699505822010-02-19T09:22:20.398-07:002010-02-19T09:22:20.398-07:00You can't help your friend unless she actually...You can't help your friend unless she actually wants your help.
