My friend is broke...

My friend is an international student from Nigeria. He's broke and has no money for food as he spent it all on shoes, clothes e.t.c
His dad is a surgeon and has his own practice and his mother is a dentist.
I kinda feel bad for him. He's a huge guy and won't get money til Friday so he plans on sleeping til then.
Should i help him out by giving him one of my pizzas? I know i'd like it if someone helped me.
I just went to see him now.
HELP???

If he's your friend of course you should help him out! How could you justify leaving him to starve for three days?

So the guy spends all his money on a shopping spree AND gets free pizza. Nice!

You could give him £5 to help him get by until friday, but don't help him out too much as he needs to learn to prioritise what he spends his money on i.e. food comes before clothes and shoes.

Your friend is the thick one, he spent all his food money on shoes and clothes, which is more important in the short term?
AS you for you, do you have a stockpile of pizza's or something?

I wouldn't help if he wasted it all on clothes and stuff, he won't loan if people always bail him out.

He's rich enough to afford international fees but daft enough with money to waste everything he has on shoes and clothes? He deserves it.

You can't let him starve, so get down a value supermarket and buy him some very cheap bread or noodles. Request the money back when he gets his next amount of money. (On principle, rather than just as a cheapskate thing to do). When he gets more money, make him budget it to last how long he actually has to make it last, so he has a maximum amount to blow on shoes and clothes. Yeah, this sounds harsh especially considering that he's your friend, but really, spending it all on shoes and clothes? I have no sympathy.

Both of his parents are professionals, and he has spent all of his money on material things like shoes and clothes? Forget those ASDA noodles.

He needs to man up - there's a legitimate need for charity and then there's someone who needs to learn that spending your money unwisely will land your ass broke.

If he is in a bad predicament then by all means, do the decent thing and offer him some food. But if he thinks 'sleeping in until Friday' will get him somewhere, he needs to think again.
