Yes I probably am being unreasonable but guess I want to get it off my chest.
A friend, who lives overseas, got cancer last year. Needed chemo and surgery. Her health care didn't cover it. She had no savings. She is late thirties, professional job. No particular reason for no savings other than she enjoyed good hols and spending her money. Fair enough.
But she couldn't afford to pay for cancer treatment. So her sister (UK) based got in touch with her friends explaining about cancer and the cost of treatment. Friends contributed large sums and her treatment was covered and thankfully she has been given the all clear, which is fantastic.
I contributed a significant amount. I don't have huge sums but I budget and save. We have kids.
So over the past year, since treatment, I've barely heard from my friend but every month I see posts on Facebook from lovely looking holidays. We haven't been abroad in years!
I guess it just rubs me the wrong way slightly that friends contributed thousands upon thousands for her treatment and she had NO savings and here she is still spending as before (she is working again).
I don't expect any payment back at all, that's not the issue. And I want her to enjoy life. But it just doesn't sit comfortably with me.
Maybe I'm just a crap friend...
