      “It all comes out in the wash” is a common saying in my family. But our family also has a mooch/thief that everyone knows not to lend money too so that saying clearly has a boundary somewhere.

        Yea I've made a couple comments about my high-school friend group so not to belabor the point but we had the same thing. Everybody just covered for everybody else except one asshole who one time when they weren't around we all went around in a circle and realized the one asshole owed the group thousands of dollars collectively.

        And no, it wasn't that he was poor in fact he was one of the better off ones and of course the one that went far right and the last convo I had with him is how he has no sympathy for homeless people. This conversation happened in a city in winter where it regularly got to 10 degrees below zero before windhill.

      Same with my friends. It doesn't help that we like to make it as complicated as possible between the three of us by always swapping who's buying for who and "trading" debt (all in good fun, none of this penny counting venmo bullshit)
