I know people who are money hunrgy. They are called "in laws." I really don't understand what you are asking. Can you give me an example? What exactly was taken away from you because you didn't have the money? If i had extra money and wanted to meet up with a friend, I would pay the friends way. If I didn't have the extra money. I would not meet up with that friend.

My in laws are always a pain. They are out to get as much as they can out of someone and when they can't. They don't have anything to do with them. I am not kidding.
You have to remember money does make the world go around. It also makes it easier to live life.
If your friend wanted you to go in business with him, you gave the money you promised. But he than said you aren't in business but will give it back with in so many months...well, I hate to tell ya..but that isn't a friend. I don't care how long you have known the person. They were using you to start their own business. I would try and get back the money you loan the person as fast as possible. Otherwise it sounds like you have been had.
I suggest next time you go in to an adventure with a friend, have it all drawn up in writing. Because then they can't come back and say you aren't part of the business I just needed the money. Plus with papers if you don't get what was promised. You can always take that person to court to recoup your losses.
