Same thing almost happened to me... I said no. I’d rather be single than be a sugar daddy to a lazy tramp.
When a woman asks you for money, you say "It'll be my pleasure to help you out. Write down a list of what you earn and what expenditures you have and I'll help you get financially stable. I can't give you any money because my every penny is already accounted for with bills, expenses and savings. ".
It's an offer of help that probably won't be accepted because she'll want to take the easy route and just be given money rather than have the discipline to live within her means.
But do and that you'll quickly find out her real attitude to money. If she does produce the list you'll find whether she really is strapped for cash or just wastes it on luxuries.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Should I help her?
Here’s the deal. I’m a 26 year old guy who makes decent money (80k/yr) and my girlfriend is a 20 year old college student. Right now she is driving an old beat up 1982 Oldsmobile and needs a new car to get to her job and to and from school.
She works full time and is saving up some money for a downpayment and plans to purchase a car next spring. I’ve already given her about $800 towards a downpayment and put a credit card of mine in her name as well to build her credit.
She wants me to match whatever she saves up for a car through the end of the year. That means I’ll probably have to put in $2000 more (if I agree) to help her with the car.
We’ve been going out about 4 months. I’m trying to save/invest for my future while still trying to help her out. I am having trouble finding the balance here. I want to help her out but not sacrafice my savings. I also don’t want her to take it for granted or take advantage of me.
8/10. This is some good trolling.
