Will you lend a friend who keeps on borrowing money ?

i have family like that , I mention it in a discussion also yesterday (Deja vu) . This family member never call me unless they want to ask for money . They never even call to tell me happy birthday but only for money .

If he/she borrows and brings it back then it's OK. One mistake and the funding stops.

Her facebook is not active anymore? Wow, call the social media police. Things just got real! Just cut off your friendship, what's the big deal about it? Move on!

maybe she has a big problem. a good payer can be a bad payer, too, when faced with difficulties. if you do not have enough to lend, then don't. do not also allow the person to repeatedly borrow when you know she doesn't have the capability.

why dont you try to reverse roles and ask your friend to help you by lending you money,just to see how she will react...taste of her own medicine.probably, you may not be successful in borrowing anything but maybe can send subtle message to her,but if u never know, may surprise you in lending you what you sk for.

I do believe that, "A friend in need is a friend indeed", but I would not lend money to someone who would just show up at the time of financial need. There was a girl in my college who would always ask others to pay for her. Whenever we would go to canteen she would ask someone to pay her bill promising she would pay the next time. Next time she would ask someone else to do so. In the beginning we all would happily pay for her thinking friends can do this much for other friends. Gradually, when we came to know that this was her habit of taking free treats, we stopped taking her to canteen with us. If she would insist joining us we would clearly say that no one is going to pay for her if she has money she can join us else not. It is better to be straight forward with such people.

Hope you don't mind me saying but is she really, truly a friend of yours? Because that type of friend I wouldn't want to have around, friends are about giving and taking on both sides, she seems to want it all on her grounds and when she can't even give you an hour of her time, she sounds very selfish. No I certainly wouldn't lend money to a friend who keeps on borrowing, and to be honest I wouldn't have this kind of friend in my friendship circle.

I think your friend must be in deep trouble. Maybe she don't have enough monthly income for her family. Better you consult her what's her problem. If she's borrowing because she gamble or drinks, then don't bother to lend her money. But, if she use the money for family needs, then I think you better help her if you have extra. Otherwise just say sorry. Some of us maybe lucky to have good monthly income but some of us maybe not. So, the richer helps the poor it's a good attitude in society. But, we lend a money not to make them lazy to work or keep hoping to us, that's why we need to consult people who comes to us to borrow money.

I will lend some money to a friend a couple of times. But if that friend has a hobby of having temporary "amnesia" when it comes to payment of her debts, then a third time is no longer a possibility. There are people who even has the nerve to get mad at you when you ask them to repay you. As if you're the one who should be ashamed.

I don`t know that kind of people, but if I knew any, I would not call them friends. And it would not be because they borrow money, but because it seems that the person in question does nothing else. A friend is someone you talk to, a person you share things with. If she`s never around, how can she be anyone`s friend? She`s just a beggar or a con woman.

Well there are lots of people who are like that and even friends. I have a friend who happen to be a common friend with a friend who borrowed money to her. They seems to be okay at first but eventually it changed. She tried to text him fir the money yet that friend is quite the one who got angry everytime she will text him. He said that he will pay so she dont need to nag, thats wagt he have said. Sad that friends are broken by money.

hehe,there are lot many dear, we find them all around. some remember us only when they need money or some help. I help them some times, but if they continue the same then i will stop, avoid such people. if we continue to do so, it will be our fault and not theirs.

I'll lend him/her if he/she really needs it.But even though he/she will not pay,I'll give the thinking to GOD.After all,NO GOOD DEED GOES UNREWARDED !

if you also need money and you have not enough money,i think you can't help her,but i think perhaps,she really need money,i am very sorry about it,perhaps she can get help from others,good luck!

If I have the money and if the friend has a good financial background--like paying his/her debts faithfully--then yes, I will lend that friend money. But if I can't afford to lose my money and that friend takes money then runs away, then that's something I won't tolerate. Of course, I won't let him/her borrow from me. I am a friend in terms of those who needs moral support but when it comes to finances, it's always the number that I see, not how close we are.

No I will not lend her money even if she/he is a friend of mine.

I know a few people like this, and no I wouldnt lend them money. I wouldnt talk to them either, if they wont make time for me then I wont make time for them. They just want you when they need you or convenient for them.
