A close friend/relative wants to borrow money. What do you do?

[Coronita]

[quote=meadandale]This thread is timely. A friend recently hit me up for cash because he was two months behind on rent and his internet was about to get turned off. No car, no job and not a penny in the bank.

He hadn’t worked in several months and hadn’t even been looking for work. Yet he still managed to find the money to go out and eat and go out for drinks.

I ‘loaned’ him almost $500 last year to help him pay for a DUI lawyer–with the full expectation that I wouldn’t ever see a penny of it again.

This time I just couldn’t do it. He needed several large to get current on his rent and even though I could afford to lend him some money I knew I’d never see it again and I wasn’t ok with that this time. I also thought that he needed to learn a lesson in personal responsibility and money management (he’s 50 YO fer chrissakes).

He doesn’t talk to me much since then…oh well. I prefer to surround myself with non fuck ups anyways.[/quote]

Time for your to get new friends…. like me… I think I prequaliy…I’m not demanding…And won’t ever ask you to borrow money…Just occasional use of your F150…And no need to give me the keys if you’re willing to shuttle my crap around… Lol…I’ll throw in a free synthetic oil change for you too (though I don’t think you need to run synthetic)…

I dig the F150 Harley Davidson truck btw…

From a Bronx’s Tale

——————————————–
C:
He owes me money.

Local kids:
– Hit him with a fucking bat.
– Knock him all over the block.

Sonny:
Is that the advice you give
the kid, you fucking hoodlums?

Sonny:
Come on. Don’t listen
to these hoodlums.

C:
I’m going to Gino’s.
I’ll be back.

Sonny:
What’s the matter?

C:
This Louie Dumps
owes me 20 dollars.

It’s been two weeks, and whenever
he sees me he keeps dodging me.

He’s becoming a pain in the ass.
Should I crack him one?

Sonny:
What’s the matter?
What have I been telling you?

Sometimes hurting somebody
ain’t the answer.

– Is he a good friend of yours?

C:
– No, I don’t even like him.

Sonny:
There’s your answer right there.
It costs you 20 dollars
to get rid of him.

He’s never bother you again. He’s never
gonna ask you for money again.

He’s out of your life for
20 dollars. You got off cheap.

C:
You’re always right.

—————————————-

I think this applies if your friend doesn’t even like him!

Hopefully its HIS family and not his wifes! That would be a different situation all together…

CDMAEng – cool perspective. Never thought of it that way before. I’m trying to think, now, if there is anyone I need to loan money to.

By the way, this thread is 2 years old.

I have done this with a friend who is chronically in need of a quick financial fix…

Basically I am going to give you $200. If at some point in the future you want to give it back that is up to you, but please do not ask me for more …

Seemed to work really well. I have not seen the $200 and he never asked again.
