Well, first of all, I throw my mom money here and there as a solid. After all, she busted her tail raising my brother and I. I could never pay her back for everything she did. She doesn't need the money, but I always throw her a couple hundred here and there so she can treat herself to a nice dinner, a massage, nails, or whatever. My brother is a millionaire, so it will be a cold day in hell if he was ever asking me to borrow money.
Other than that, I've had way to many relationship strained and ruined, because money was never paid back. I've also seen other people go through the same thing. Like I said, not worth it, unless it's life or death.

My father stole from me when I was 6years old, accumulated over 50 euros, taught me all about 'money', 'friends' and 'relatives'

Why not? If they're true friends they would do anything to pay you back. In some cases it's better to just gift it to them though, if the amount is not too big.

I have lent money to friends in the past and have been seriously messed about, genuine people will make sure they repay but it is amazing how many people you consider to be friends are actually freeloaders who aren't worth pissing on if they were on fire.
I would never ask a friend for money even though I know that the genuine people would be willing to help.

Most things should happen slowly,
You put it so elegantly, yes, if you can afford it donate it, is a good idea

Its hard to say but even for family and friends you should always make a contract. In the end if you really need that money you could get it trough court or somthing similar.
But if there is nothing like that you have bad cards. I did lent money the person was a good friend i knew he had a really bad time with no money and child comin so i helped with a few dollars and he was and still is more than grateful. Got the money back as soon as he had the option to. Try to help your nearest but dont overdue it and cut yourself, just do it if you can. If you have bad feelings dont do it.

Give what you won't mind losing, who knows if that very friend might be a life savior one day? Sometimes the people you are kindest to are the ones who will abuse you, if you do a good deed without expecting anything, Maybe one day you might need a helping hand and no friends around, the stranger who shows up to help, is for that kind deed you have done for someone many years before. This has been my experience.

Used to do it, not anymore.
It's weird and a shame that for me it always were the closest ones, always a bad experience and the end result was always a burned bridge.

I love this response. This is *almost* exactly how I feel. My best friends have been my friends for 10+ years. We were roommates in college, and were friends before we moved in together. I'd trust them to the end of the world and would gladly lend them money if they fell on hard times, because I know they a) actually needed it desperately, and b) would repay me when they could. They're top-notch people, and it's important to associate yourself with high-caliber people. If you don't, it's your own undoing.
Anyone outside of this close-knit group would get the same answer: "sorry, my money's tied up or else I'd be happy to help you out." Not even a lie, but I won't move funds around to help if they're not in the inner circle. If those who made it past that criteria (my closest friends) never paid me back, I would (and have) given them the money they need with the hopes they would pay me back, but with the assumption they wouldn't, and I wouldn't hold it against them, but it would be the last time I ever lent money. If they were mad at me for not lending a second time (after not repaying the first - thankfully that hasn't been an issue so far) they'd lose their inner circle status with me, which would suck, but I would remind them of the last 'loan' and hope to salvage the friendship if possible. Friends are more important than money, but I'm not sure money is 'meaningless' - since it puts a roof over my head a food on my table.

Create a profile with a great looking chick picture. Befriend some of his friends. Set up a date. Then show up dressed up like a killer clown and give him a big hug and say Biiilllyyyyy you missed me??? He'll pee his pants. Then you say "how about paying me my 1200 eeehhh Billly"? He'll stutter and say he doesn't know what you're talking about. You pull out a photo of his new car. Oh yes he has been enjoying your money. You also brought the yearbook where you two were best buddies. He says he doesn't know you any more, you call his parents right in front of them and say heeeey Mr. Smith how are you! He still don't know what you're talking about, you then go full Steven Seagal and collect your money.
