It seems very difficult to borrow money and it seems very selective to lend money to your friends . A lot of people say that when you lend money to your friend you will lose him soon. Why ? Because when he cann't afford to return money back to you he would stay away from you . With years go by he will disappear from your life. Do you have such a case ? i did lend some money to my best friend to buy a new apartment . She fails to give the money back to me by far but we are still very close because i cherish her more than the money i lent her. I don't care whether she will give it back to me or not. i don't know whether i can do the same things to other friends or not? Please share your opinions.

It can be a dangerous thing to lend money to a friend, I have but like you I think friendship is more important than money, someone once said you should never lend money you can't afford to lose because you may not get it back. I have been told many times not to lend to friends but I find it very hard not to help my friends when they need help afterall isn't that what friendship is all about....

Yes, same like you, I also difficult to borrow money from other people because it ashame to do that. I also hard to lend my money to my friends because from my experience my friends are hard to pay back. So I just lend to someone I really trust her or him. I don't want get a trouble or make mistake again like the past and need to be carefull. My family also face the same trouble where we face a problem with our relative family. We give he borrow the money and then when he have so many money, he does not want to pay back and scold us. He also stay away from us and hard to pay back even we force him.My family is not rich but we need the money back for important use.

I don't think it's a good idea to lend friends money. It can't be sure whether they'll pay you back and it could get in the way of the friendship. I've tried lending my friend a big amount and I eventually got it back after I keep asking her for it. I got angry at her for not paying back my money and she was angry at me for not trusting her. Now I only lend my friends money that's less than twenty dollars like if they forgot their wallet and need to pay for lunch or something.

If we have sufficient money then we can lend If we are not having a dine and we give them then we have to walk around to look for some one who can lend us some money so better is the man who does not have money.
For Jesus said whoever asks you give him.If someone takes something of yours dont ask back.
It depends on how well you love Christ if you love him you will not lend money but you will give money.
Do Lords will and you will be blessed.
