Earlier i used to lend money but realized that it is real hard to get back money once given.I have to visit several times to their home to meet them and request them to return and each time they give one or another excuse. Finally i made promise to myself that from now onward i will never gave money to anyone. Even i have seen people taking advantage of other people and they ask money for treatment and they play gamble.

Well, that's the situation i want to say. How this situations can be handled ? You know, you cann't say no in some cases, but still you can not say yes. A little bit complicated situation..

I lend money to lot of friends and borrow from them as well. What are friends for? Should help each other when needed. I am sure I will get every piase of my money back from my friends because they are my FRIENDS.

I really meant to say that friends are meant for to be helped and to help. But in case you lost your friend due to money matter, it would be grate loss. wfhen amounts are less, it may not matter but if it is big, there's a chance of loosing both your money and friend though some consideration is there..

Avoid it at all cost.. cos I lent money to a few 'friends' and they never did returned me. And they ran away after that. I never felt so cheated and betrayed before.

Good idea.. if you will not lend money to your friends, they may upset with for a short time, but after that every thing will be normal. But if you lend & he did not refund, I can guarantee you that you will loose your friend.

Finical condition does not allow to look good or bad friends. Good friends may turned into bad friends even without your notice due to this lending/borrowing matters..

If you want to make a friend to a enemy, then you should lend some money to him. Or if not, then simply tell "My pocket is empty". Believing you or not, is totally his problem.

I agree but some cases you may not avoid like medical expenses etc

Yeah I use to give money to my friends in the past but I don't do it anymore coz I have learn now that it is better to deny them then to give them money and then to suffer. Giving money to friends is like losing them

Thanks for responding to such a old posting. You are right. Another evidence happened with me with this new year, 3-4 friends asked me for 04 tickets of a star hotel party on 31st Dec. As i was given them, but when after 15 days asked for money what he had told you would not believe & i am wirting this because, trust me, they all are very close to me & vanished over one night for matter of Few Thousand Rupees & i have spent 30 years with them to establish or maintain a relationship. If i would have deny for the tickets at that moment, they may be angry with me for the moments, but i would not have lost them. So now i lost money with my friends.

I have one friend name Mr.Prakash he is very closed to me sometimes he asked me very small amount. And i have not asked me to because of his poorness. I did not rember one day i lend him Rs.75,000/- for his urgency to illness of his brother and he promised me to give within 1 or two months. But he did not give after 1 or two or more it has been since 2 years but every time he told me stories. i have strongly decided NOT TO GIVE LEND MONEY TO ANYBODY.

Well friend, i think in these cases only prevention is better than cure.. Anyway we have to be very careful while giving money to others, because some cases we have to consider & we cann't say direct NO..

yes of course i will lend money to my friends but i will be choosy though. There are friends who could take it for granted. I will not mind if the situation is understandable. Like maybe the friend is too poor.. i will just consider it as a donation. If i knew that the friends are not reliable, i simply give them excuses. :D If the amount is too large, i will definitely give excuses. You never know when you will be needing your money. So, better to just say sorry i want to but i can't afford to lend.

If you are going to take the donation, then it hardly matters. But if you are giving some money keeping in mind that you have to get it back and it fails, you could imagine the situation. There is a chance of loosing money & friend both.

It depends to the things and people. To my best friends,I will lend money to them.Even if I have no money,I try to answer this problem.But to most people,I will avoid it because they cant return money on time.

I understand the gravity of money as well as best friends. This discussion i have started before two years i think, not exactly remebered. It already happend with me, till date i have to loose my one of the best friends by giving or taking money(not prefer to say what exactly). The result is our relation ruined. Later we can recover our money from any sources but never a best friend. Any thanks for replying.

Have not you feel that when it is time for them to return, they just do the opposite (may be due to their problem), causing troubles for yourself ?

I don't have extra money to lend, but if I had it, I wouldn't because I'd rather help a friend with their needs instead of handouts because it's not a good habit to get into. You may not stay friends for long.

Sometimes I lend money to my friends. It really depends on who it is and how credible they are in my book. I'd lend my sister or boyfriend money any day, but most people I know I'd be a lot more cautious about.

Yaa, that's the right decission, but you really does not know how the things get changed when it comes to any financial issues. Just prevention is better than cure.

But never be sure that you will get all your money back. I am not most concerned about the money you will be get back or not, you may lost your friend also
