Waiting for the money tree to bloom

I got a call from Josh while I was on my morning walk requesting that I go to the school to pay $250 for his high school football state championship ring. (I already paid a $75 deposit) While I was there, I plunked down a chunk of change for a tuition payment as well. When I got home Jen asked me to help her win something on ebay that she needed for her photography business. ($180 light meter). I was asked to put it on my paypal account and she'd pay me later this week. No sooner did that happen, Jordy called in tears needing us to help her with a $500 deposit required to hold the date on her reception hall. Still waiting for Ryan to call with the verdict on a dispute he has with the University. Since he quit the football team, they are trying to say he owes $950 back in scholarship money for the winter (not even the full amount?)...only problem is...he never received his football scholarship for the winter, so how can they make him pay it back? I'm hoping that they can get this settled because he can't even register for fall or summer classes until this is taken care of. Oy vay. If they can prove he got it, then we will have to help him pay it back asap. Thank goodness Jake doesn't need anything. I'm still waiting for that money tree to bloom. Should be any day now?
