i lend money to some friends at the bar in clubs or at some places where they cant afford what they wanted because i have more than i need. But never lend to some half stranger half friend guys. I have never been screwed since then and have lend one of my closest friends enough money to buy a used 2013 Porsche because he couldn't get enough money out of the ATM at that day. i got every cent back and he drove to my place every evening to give me the amount of cash he could withdraw from his bank account (no i don't like transactions that big on my bank account, my financial advisor would kill me, so cash is good). And yes i got f***ed in middle and high school by some guys i barely know and that's the reason why i only lend money to people that i know very good personally. But that is okay, you need to learn your lessons from life.

your family and friends will cut you out when you refuse to lend them and when you lend them they actually blame you why are you asking for your money back smh

I have a lot of friends/relatives who borrowed money from me amounting to $4000+ total. Less than half of them only paid and the rest treats me like im the bad guy when i ask them to pay the money they borrowed.
I stopped since then and i learned my lesson.

For friends, it is their money as soon as you give them. Also, such people develop an habit to repeat this as it is easy money.

When you are lending money, lend the money with the mentality that you are NOT gonna get it back. If you do that, you won't feel bad. Because it's very rare that you will get your money back. It's sad but that's how the society is, so just say NO! Otherwise, when you are giving the money, don't even ask for a return date.

I have just 1 real friend, 12 years friendship. He take short amount money lent and i am also, but never i feel i need to return it and he also never feel return that short amount lent. One day he lent $1000 from me before taking the lent willingly he told me i can't return money as soon as, I will give you the money 6-8 month later. I said its OK. So i think if your friendship is real so no need to tell for your money back because of your real friend know this money need to back or not

Oh, its been 3 months and he not sent a single msg. one of my friend asked for some money for a month and i gave him. before that, he daily tagging me on Instagram posts, send some whatsapp shares and some small chats but after i gave him money, he don't msg me, like, i will ask for the given money. and even i don't feel msg him as he will think i am reminding him of the money.
never lend money to friends. it will put you in a difficult situation.

True. It's the fastest way to lose friends. Friends and money just don't go well together.

I hate when a friend ask for money, they say they will pay back but they will pay partially and keep on making excuses they will pay tomorrow but they don't do it. And when you disagree to lend them money they talk shit about you and they will keep asking if you don't do it. Bad experiences.

I lost 750 pounds renting 1 bedroom flat for a friend and he never come at least to leave there.
Still I help friends with money and benefits but it's a risky thing.
I have 2 3 friends which can I trust even for big amount of money. Depends which kind of people you trust..

Like David said... if you can afford to lose the money, then do it. Just don't expect to get the money back.
You'll either find out you have a great friend that you can trust to keep their word.
Or you'll find out you had a phony friend.... kind worth paying a lil bit of money just to find out if they are real or phony.
