I met a good guy during first year, and we became friends. He works for a religious organization that goes to undergraduate spreading his religious beliefs. I am not of the same religion. I already indirectly support my own religious institutions with $$.

I recently signed a contract for after graduation. Now even before graduation he has contacted me to “sponsor” him for 3 figures monthly. He apparently gets paid by sponsors stating he has many family and friends supporting him.

I am at a loss as to how to approach this. I can’t help but feel he sees me becoming an attending next year and $$$.

You can tell him it’s not in your budget right now. If he stays your friend then he was a real friend

Just say no

I am confused how this is even a problem. You say no.

Sounds like a total scam. Your money is your own. He can earn his own. Don't get caught up in being seen as the bank. Very hard to undo. Stop that now.

Ditto. If you don’t cut that off now, it’ll only grow exponentially worse.
