Do I accept it? What do y'all think?

My answer would be based on a couple of things. First and foremost, what is your relationship with them. I have several close friends that I would accept an offer like that from in a heartbeat, but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable accepting that offer from just anyone. Some "friends" I wouldn't accept because I'm pretty sure they would try to hang it over me even though it was their offer.
Also, the friends I would accept from can afford the cost with no hassles. If it were a close friend and I knew they were not in the best financial situation (in which case, why the hell are they offering), I would not accept simply for that.
