Posted: 6/20/2008 6:28:45 AM | I just lent out $1500 to a friend yesterday. I said to myself I would never lend out more than $100 to a friend, and I just broke my own rule. She is a friend and she was in need for money as she got hit hard this month financially, and I recently just paid off my mortgage, so I decided to help out since my "wallet" was already open....lol. I have plenty left over in the bank, so I don't really need it as much as she does and if means it'll give her less stress then I'll help out. I am prepared to never see that money again, but I trust she will pay it back.
I was thinking.... if you can't trust friends with your money, then how can you trust them with anything else? But I guess every situation and person is different and should be considered before lending out money. There are some people I have known for years and years that I wouldn't lend a dollar to just because I know their history.

Posted: 6/20/2008 7:59:35 AM | | I only ever lend people money if I can afford not to get it back. I lent my friend Shelly some money before, it took her a few weeks longer than she said to pay me back but I wasn't concerned about it. If she had truly been in a situation where she couldn't afford to pay me back, I wouldn't have cared because she's a good friend that I have known for about 10 years and that's what friends are for. I guess it depends on how close you are to the person. Sometimes friends need help and that's OK but I personally never do it unless I can afford to miss the money I'm lending out. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 8:59:04 AM | in my view.. and I do this... if your going to give anyone money.. do so with the thought that you gave it freely and expect nothing returned.. or... you setup a contract and have some ground to hold someone accountable.. sounds simple.. and it does work.. i give people money all the time.. once it's in their hands it's theirs... no strings attached.. many have repaid me.. many haven't.. doesn't matter cause that money I deemed I could give away.. I made that responcible decision.. on the other method.. i've held a brother to a contract.. no I wouldn't just give him money.. it's a decision I have to make...
best of luck | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 6:44:09 AM | | Depends on how good of a friend it is...and then you don't loan it, you make it a gift. If they pay you back that's great, but I think wanting to help people you care about is the important thing, if you can afford to do it. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:13:58 AM | This thread has me thinking-
I need to borrow money now until the end of next week and I have a good track record paying people back.... eho wants to help me out- LOL
Back to the question- I would lend out money to a friend depending on how much money it was and how well I trust the friend. Personally- if I have it, I would (and have) give money to a total stranger that I know was in need. Maybe I am just a firm believer in Karma. Everytime I have done good things for another- it always come back to me 10-fold.
If you are putting yourself in dire-straints in order to loan the money- No.
Otherwise, "loan/gift" it and hope the person pays it back but don't expect. If that person doesn't take care of you- Karma will. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:19:18 AM | Well, Welder and I have a couple that we used to be really close with. Did everything with them. Their kids thought we were their aunt and uncle. Really close friendship here. Anyho....for about 6-7 months we would lend them money or they would lend us money. Not the amount you are talking about tho. Usually it was like $20-30 for things like gas or a bill that was due but one of us was a few dollars short. They always paid us back on pay day and we always paid them back on pay day. Wasn't really a huge ordeal for us UNTIL....until the day came when they asked for $30 and I told them no because we just didn't have the extra money that week. They SHOULD have known I would've gave it to them if I had it...but I just simply didn't have it. For whatever reason they took as a personal affront. So, since then we haven't seen much of them.
So...nah, in the future, I probably wouldn't loan a friend money. It seems to create too much drama.
As for your situation. You probably should just chalk it up as a lesson learned and tell her that her twat is only worth 1% of the amount you loaned her. So...for each sex session you will knock off $1.20.

Posted: 6/25/2008 3:45:21 PM | OP: I've always been the type of person to share or loan anything I have to other people whom may need it (including money) without requesting it back. It tells a lot more about you as a person if you never expect the loan back and it tells volumes about the person that has no intention of ever repaying you. Sometimes the lessons we have to learn about people are costly, but just remember, you still came out ahead by having a good enough heart in order to help a person in need. I would have done the same, but would have ditched the friendship after realizing she had no intention of ever paying me back.
