Loaning money to friends

[Ja Sa Bong]

Who still loans money to their friends? What's have been your experience with those whom you've lend money?

Did they pay you back when they promised to or did it destroy your relationship with them?

Big no no
From my experience they start wanting more and more besides i’m not related to them so their money issue is theirs.

Unless they are on the street then i be a good friend and help.

I don't loan money to friends. If I want to give money I will tell them not to worry about paying it back as it can ruin friendships.

I don't loan; I give away. I don't want the hassle of dealing with people not paying back. However, though, I've only got so much to give out due to my economic situation.

I quit loaning things out to people. No one's ever paid me back and I've had to go through hell or high water to get an item back that someone refused to return. The people I've loaned to just use "borrowing" as an excuse to steal your shit.

I would honestly loan to one-two of my friends that I'm super close to and I know that they have a respect for me and my money as well as our friendship. I understand when people forget to repay, but there comes a point where they definitely don't repay.

I have a facebook friend who I met in middle school (10-12 years old) and she asks me for money about once every month... she hasn't paid back my other friend... and I just am so uncomfortable with her frequently asking. I know she had a previous drug issue and so I just don't trust that she is using it for what she should be as well as I would never see it back.

We loaned money to family & friends before. I honestly do NOT recommend it. Some can get an attitude. It's really sad when they say they can't pay you back if it's monthly installments yet splurge on items.

I have never loaned money to my friends before. However I can remember one day I was loaned and repaid on time.

 

[Shortie]

I have only ever loaned money to friends a few times in the past and I always got it back eventually but I once loaned some money to a family member of mine and they never paid it back and that left me short and caused me issues. Ever since then, I very rarely lend money to anyone now.
