Never loan money to these people.
If it’s to the point where they are trying to squeeze you for cash, that’s already a bad sign about their character and ability to handle money.
If it’s a dire emergency, that may be an exception if you value the relationship, but don’t expect to get reimbursed. Say goodbye to the money.
These days, especially in the USA, people do not place any value on honor and honesty.
Most of them have been brought up to expect instant gratification and don’t care how they get it.
That’s how this country got into its current mess and it isn’t going to change anytime soon.
Once they get what they want, paying you back will not be their priority.
Staying off your radar and concocting lame excuses will become their priority.
If it’s a family member, they won’t even have the class and dignity to stay away from you.
They’ll consider you a doormat just for being unlucky enough to be related to them.
That’s just the way it is these days.

August 30, 2010 at 11:57 AM #597358jimmyleParticipantDon’t do it.
I loaned a friend $1000 two years ago and he still has not paid me back yet. It is so uncomfortable to meet him now.
People should go to the banks and borrow money there.
