A childhood friend offered to send me $100 because he knows I’m going through a tough time. I’ve never been offered money before and have never asked anyone to borrow money. I don’t even know how to answer yes. It feels so weird. We only speak through Instagram so I don’t think he still has my number.
Do I reply with my phone number and say “you can send it through Zelle or Apple Pay” — that sounds so crazy to me.
Someone please help!

Be careful, money tends to come with strings attached!

I have a friend who has asked for money on ig but not personally. She posts it on her stories and the amount she needs. Its basically like a fundraising opportunity as she is an artist and is between jobs often. I think you could potentially acquire more funding if you present it as a go fund me campaign but yea. No shame. Hes obviously close enough to you that he knows your situation. Just offer up how he can send the money
