I'm truly sorry your friend has fallen on hard times. I know exactly how you feel. The economy has really taken its toll on everyone. Since the recession I've had to do the unthinkable and sacrifice my lifestyle, such as flying business instead of first for international flights. I truly hope your problems aren't as severe as mine, and you don't have to fraternize with the peasants in the cheap seats while drinking shitty Bordeaux.
Without getting into all the personal details, I need a prayer for my friend Doug who is going through really tough times right now. We're trying to help but it's a very difficult mission, especially since I'm in school.
If you can, some encouraging words will be greatly appreciated. I'll print the thread and give it to him.
