If the possibility of him not paying you back wont fracture the friendship then go ahead.

He probably wasn't paycheck to paycheck until his employer stopped paying him.

In any way is it appropriate for me to offer to loan him a $1000 or something to help get through this period ? Never really ran in to this before so I come to the OT for your abundant wisdom...
Yes.

Cant. The high school grads of the MAGA movement have elected the same crooked politicians to the Senate for the same 20-30 years. That crook Richard Shelby has represented me in the Senate literally my entire life, but somehow he is draining the swamp.

You can call it a loan, but when you give money to someone, assume it's a gift, cause they rarely pay it back.

Just give it to him, no conversation. He will either pay it back when he can, or he won't. If you can afford it, you have done a good deed. If you want the money back, don't do it.

If you have the money, I say help the family out. Just as others have said, give them the money without the expectation of being paid back. I’ve helped friends out with bills, rent, etc. and never expected anything in return. Good on you if you do.
By the way, the OT is the last place I’d come to for advice on anything.

Yeah. A $1000 is not really a whole lot even if he decided to,not pay you back.

Then you probably shouldn't do it. What if he's not in any position to pay you back even when his pay starts to come back? Then what? You have ruined your friendship with the guy over some money that he didn't ask for and you just assumed he needed and could pay back.
Like others have said, if you want to do it, fine. Just dont expect it to be repaid. If you're not comfortable with that, just drop it.

$1000 is a pretty sizeable chunk of change to just kiss bye bye
But ball on, OT

Sorry, this sounds like you’re doing this for you.

Perspective. I remember, in college, I thought "If I can just keep $500 in the bank, I will be happy." Man, how times change. I would easily lose $1K to help someone I know.

That's kinda bullshite.
If the dude is furloughed, he will get paid in full when the shutdown ends.
If the dude takes the money from op, gets paid backpay later, and simply doesn't pay op back, he is just a shitty person who gained a free $1000.
The money can be necessary to help in the short term, but long term the dude is going back to normal.

You're a good man. Great gesture

Coming from a guy that borrows money a lot. I wouldn’t do it.

How is it BS when the guy didn’t come to the OP for a loan in the first place?
The Op does not know anything other than the guy feels he can’t afford to take his daughter to an “event”.
Maybe the guy is just being conservative with his finances until the furlough ends. Is that a bad thing? Is this event that important?
And now the OP says it would change the way he feels about this gentleman if he can’t pay it back.
Unless there’s more to the story, this sounds like it was more about the OP than the other guy.
And if not, I apologize.
