For a long time my parents were having a hard time getting my sister through college. Money was getting tight because my dad had been laid off at work because of corporate downsizing, and we were all giving things up to scavenge more money so my sister could stay in school. I had to give up my weekly allowance I got for doing my chores, and I was told to stop driving my car around so much so that we would spend less money on gas. This is actually pretty hard for me because a lot of my friends live really far away and it takes a lot of gas for me to get to their houses, and now I could pretty much only use my car to get to work and back.
I wouldn’t say that this is the biggest sacrifice I have ever had to make for someone I care for, but it is definitely the first one to come to mind because I was pretty pissed that I couldn’t see my friends for a good half a year. I think the farthest I would ever go would be to give mostly everything. If I truly care for that person I would have no problem sacrificing a lot for them, no matter to cost or repercussions. There is no length I wouldn’t go to for a real friend.
