Selfish people ,Imagine their nerve !!

This is why you don't loan money to friends or family unless you know for a fact that the person is responsible and likely to pay you back. I have seen more friendships break up over loans in my lifetime. A couple of times I have found myself in a position where a friend needed a loan and I was pretty sure that I'd never see the money again...but her cause was good, so I gave it to her and told her it was a gift. That way she wouldn't start avoiding me when the time came to repay the loan and she couldn't/wouldn't. The funny thing was that she did pay me back because my generosity made her feel guilty about accepting my money.

It's one way to learn who your friends really are. Too bad it had to happen that way. I'm sure you won't be loaning him any more money. If it was me, that would be the end of the friendship. I'd get the rest of my money from him, no matter how many excuses he came up with, and then say, bye bye. Nobody needs friends like that. I hope you do get the rest of the money back from him.

Don't you know that the quickest way to get rid of someone is to loan them money and you will never see them again. I have gone through just what you are going through, I have a friend that in recent months for awhile a couple times I borrowed 20 bucks from them to hold me over till I got paid the first of the month. She was always here on the first and I gave her her money as I know she has a short income too and I appricated what she done for me. Well a couple months ago she ask to borrow $40 from me to keep from losing her car insurance. I gave it to her willing, she said she got paid on Friday and would give it back to me. Friday came and she called she had a short check and would have to wait another 2 weeks to get paid then she would pay me, now this put me in a bind but what could I do? When that 2 weeks rolled around she had another excuse, oh yes she needed it to put back for rent. As of yet I have not gotten it and it is a month and a half now. Funny that when it was me she was here at my door on payday. Why don't I do that to her, well I trusted her and if I have to go stand on her door step to get it, which she would just tell me she don't have it, then it was a lesson learnt and you know that day will roll around again when she needs help and where will she go then. So when we loan money to friends most of the time we can just count it gone.

Hi ronnyb, i have an experienced with that too, and i started to hate my friend who borrowed us a money. Imagine we lent her a 25,000 pesos, saying she will pay us on December when her hubby went home but until now she never paid us it's almost two years and even a single cents she never paid us.She's a liar, very inconsiderate. And to my surprise she can afford to buy a new car and have a maid, but she can't pay her debts to us, very selfish! Happy posting.

That is really disrespectful of your friend to treat you like that. It just goes to show what kind of person he is and that you are probably a whole lot better off not having someone like him as a friend anyway.

The audacity of that guy! what a jerk, i mean gorsh. He is seeing you being kind and he takes advantage of you gorsh thats just wrong.

simply HORRIBLE ! getting the friend who lends money in the right time is quite impossible to see or foten hear.If this is the case u ve done a wxcellent job helping ur friend, but he has no tendency and capability to be a friend of urs. My caring advice for my unknown friend is to better discontinue his friendship after getting the half of the amount u gave. Let it be a experience for u for which u should trust only true friends and not the fake ones ! ! ! GOT IT???????????

Money is very important but very bad thing. it always create problem in close friends, relatives. But now you know what type of your friend is and i think you take precaution to give any thing to other in future.

You could sue him or never lend him money again. Next time you lend someone money hold on to something that is valuable to them so if they don't pay you back you can keep their belonging or sell it.

well,i think that guy don't treat you as his friend,and you needn't make him as you friend.don't lend any money to him again.

never let money come between you and your friend..this is really true..i have lent money to soooohhhh many people including friends but i have difficulty in getting paid back..i dont know how to collect from them..there is something wrong with me..i feel ashamed when i try to collect or even remind those who owe me money..ii cant say no when someone borrows from me...but the funny thing is that i always end up the loser...i dont get paid most of the time and when it is my turn to borrow when im in need i cant find anyone who can lend me...hahahahaha..well...thats why now i really am very careful with money...

Clinton Ronnyb, i belief that if the guy had such nerve to behave that way he must have thought about you to be a lenient person. My advise to you is that you should take the help you rendered as an act of kindness to somebody who needs help and be tough when you know you are only lending to that person.

I know a lot of people like that. But what they spend on is their business. When I lend them money, I am only concerned if they can pay me back on time. Set a deadline and be strict about it.

yes,you do encounter with those type of people, but you know what its okay, If he or she like that just pretend nothing happen and meet as usual until they realize they were actually wrong and end up apologizing you.

Some of my boyfriend's friends and family memebers, and some of my friends and family memebers are pretty damn selfish. I try to never be that selfish. I like to give to others when I have the money, but I know people who are not like that, and I pity those people.

There are a lot of people out there like that, unfortunately. It's really too bad. The most you can do is make a mental note of this person not to lend him money in the future. His actions say a great deal about the kind of person he really is.

Well, I suppose you will be careful about lending money to him again. It's amazing that people like him can ask for loans from friends, and then conveniently forget to return the money. If someone asks me for a loan, I would most probably lend him or her an amount that I can afford to lose. Which means, I would prepare myself not to see the money again - just in case the money is not returned, I won't feel so bad.

You have people who do that unfortunately and yes i get how it would irk you off to say the least. There is a guy that is doing that to my uncle a friend of his =P He borrowed money and then is paying it off a bit at a time saying he can't pay it all at once yet he is taking expensive trips and going to fancy places =P. It is hard to get tough on a friend. I would say to be straight up and say what gives you are blowing all this cash and say you can't pay me back?!? BUT that is so much easier said than done ESPECIALLY when you are talking about a friend or family member! I guess this will be an expensive lesson to try and keep in mind when you lend money to friends and family you won't be getting it back as expected.

I would have been exceedingly upset with him to say the least, it would be different if he needed it for food for his kids,and could only pay you back half,but what are you supposed to do for living expenses.You should tell his girlfriend I would or threaten your mate with that, if she is to expensive he should find someone else another fool over a woman.

Ronu you can;t imagine the selfishness of my friend.i used to pay his fare every time we used public transport in our university but once i had no money and he gave me only 2 Rs but the very next day he came to me and asked I want my 2Rs back.You can;t imagine how much i was shocked.
