I've had both personal and family experiences to teach me this lesson, so even when I think "hm, I'd like to hire or help a friend out" I don't. I'm fairly paranoid about what I do anyway, so it'll take a wihle for me to hire someone who I can trust enough to turn over some of what I do to them. I need to, so that I can work on bigger, more important things, but I don't want to trust a friend with it, since bad things can happen with partnerships with friends. It sucks but it's true.
