    In some cases this listing could just as easily be in the list " How to defeat an opponent."

    If I can I like to help my friends when they are in need, but there is a fine line when people abuse it.

    . . .depends on the level of payback you deliver. When I borrowed a car in college, I gave it back with a full tank of gas. Always. Advice to live by, kids.. .

    There's an old saying that goes: If you loan someone $20 and never see them again it was money well spent.

    could be a tough situation from all sides. First of all we are not well to do so we are not in a position to loan out a huge amount of money. so that has not been a problem so far. loaning or asking for a loan can strain a relationship for sure. if someone asks for help with money and cannot pay it back especially if it is a good chunk of money, there will be hard feelings and distrust of that person.for the person asking for the money it will be over their head until they can pay it back,even if the person who loaned the money is not nagging. If we ever needed a big amount of money. I would rather get a loan from a bank than ask for money from someone else. those who ask for say twenty dollars and I never see it. okay but I may not quick to hand it out the next time, unless they were hungry or something. money can destroy relationships in many situations.

    My loan outs were almost always paid back, many times early. Go figure...

    Terribly thought out rating description. It can be a risky thing depending on the circumstances. I always seemed to be the go-to guy at work. I was usually the owner, so lending money was casual and easy, since I also signed the pay checks. When I was an employee, or even in a managerial position, it was a little different. If some one would ask for 10 or 20 bucks for this or that...no problem. I'd never ask for it back. Probably got it back more times than not. For those that didn't pay it back, I took the "Sonny Approach": for 20 bucks, he'd never bother me again and if he did, it was easy to say "No". Then there's the ones who start it off by saying, "Listen, I need to talk to you." This meant $500 or $5000. I would almost always say "No" because I thought it was disingenuous. Why not a real number like $468.35, or $4528.75? What costs exactly $500 or $5000? As a gambler, I pretty much knew that this wasn't for diapers or school supplies. Family? This can be the easiest or most ... Read more

    I agree with firemoth: it isn't so much that friends or anyone close to us borrow money. What irks almost anyone is the fact that some friends assume that they don't have to pay the money back because *ahem* "We're friends!" A great way to cause a rift in a friendship, or rather terminate one.

    It's the not paying it back, not the borrowing, that causes the problems.

    Sadly, money and debts can turn even the closest friends (or family for that matter) into enemies.

    Well borrowing money and not repaying it is a great way to alienate people!

    Unless you know the person very well, and it's an absolute emergency, I wouldn't recommend borrowing or lending money. That's a sure way for friends to become fast enemies, and it would be a sad shame to lose a friend over money.

    Borrowing money is one quick way to alienate people! Even your family and friends, wait, especially your family and friends!You might just as easily douse them in gasoline and toss a match at them.It's a poor way to win friends or influence people.
