My childhood friend of 20 years was much smarter than I am. He graduated with a college degree and landed a high-paying job, bought a house, got married, all that. He invited me to go on a European vacation that I simply could not afford, that’s when I realized I needed to walk away. It was clear he was heading in a direction I couldn’t follow. Life isn’t like it is in the movies.
I’ll be honest, if I was inviting a friend of a few decades to a vacation I would both check that he could afford it and if not just outright sponsor the whole thing.
