My mom somehow has this friend, I'd say like a BFF or something (same gender for context) while she was in school or something, and they seem so close. As a kid, I've been to their house a few times and I'd didn't have a phone (smartphones werent even a thing) so I was just bored and looked around at stuff while the adults talked.

My mom borrowed money from this friend so she'd have enough money to buy a house. That debt has now been repaid.

Like idk... that seems so rare... ironically my mom tells me "blood relationships is important" or some bullshit, but then I point this out and she just be like... speechless, cuz our actual blood relatives (like aunts/uncles) didn't even wanna help.

But yea "these days", maybe... maybe its just society gotten more obsessed with money and we end up with a low-trust society.
