Have you ever severed relations with a friend or relative over money?

Oh yanji, I always try not to involve my friends or family when it comes to money. My love and friendship is too important to jeopardize it for the sake of money.

Actually it was me that was disowned over money.Many years ago I loaned my Dad $500 which he was supposed to pay back when he got his tax refund.Well he gets the refund and a week goes by and he doesn't offer me any money.At this time I'm living in his rental house just up the road a piece.So I stop by on the way home one day and ask for my money.My Dad goes off on me telling me what an ungrateful little biatch I am to get the hell out of his house.I go home horribly upset and while I'm getting my stuff out ot the car I see my Dad stomping up through the field carring his shotgun.I met him at the fence and ask what he's gonna do? shoot me now? He says yes,if I don't get of his property right NOW.So I leave.My Mom calls me later and tells me I've be disowned and will be shot on sight.She tells me to come get my stuff on Saturday when they'll be gone and not to come back.So that's what I do.For a whole year I didn't see or speak to my parents.I get a job where my Mom's working and she finally breaks the ice by speaking to me.She tells me what Dad told her and that later he had a nervous break down.She believed that's why he did what he did and that now he was sorry for it.Told me she would have talked to me sooner bu;t didn't know where I was and I was pretty transient for that year.In the end we all sat down and made our apologies and forgave each other.I never did get my money back but just decided to let it go.

I suppose I'm lucky and nothing like this happened to me until now.Must be very hard for you and the other members of your family.But even if I didn't take off any member of my family because of the money I did for other reason.My conclusion is for any reason you come at the point take off from your life a member of family is hard and hurts.

I don't sever relations with them but when I lend family money, I make it very plain (as in saying right out front) if they don't pay me back I would never do it again. The statement used is "If it came down to my dime and your starving in the end I would still have my dime".

my dads girlfriend rings me up asks me to buy her stuff all the time even tho i live hour away from her wants me to bring it to her when it costs me twenty in fuel to go so i ended refusing to do it unless im going that way anyway but now everytime i go she wants at least 50 bucks worth of stuff says she will give me the money when i get there but when i do she says oh i meant next week she really piss me off when my dad can take her if he is home or shop ten min walk away but i dont know how to say no to her cause i dont want to upset my dad but this women owed 300 at one stage til i told my dad so my dad payed me back instead of her which still i think is wrong that my dad also has to hide money from her too

i am a college student.. whenever we decide to have a hangout ...one of my friend always give me a very few bulks and tell me to give his share when needed and the he will pay me later the extra amount... but the later day never comes... !!!!

A good friend of mine helped me out when I bought a car, he came with me and checked it over and made sure it was up to scratch, he picked it up for me and helped me out big time. He then asked to borrow some money from me, how could I refuse after he had done me such a big favour. But when it came to paying it back he suddenly couldn't pay, it was a trauma trying to get it back in the end to cut a long story short he paid me back in small amounts each month, it took years but eventually he paid off the debt, it destroyed the friendship.

i never have. but that doesn't mean that i wouldn't. i don't mind giving away money. i don't mind letting people borrow money. just make sure when you ask you know which word you are using. give or lend. and don't lie to me. and of course by me back, cause i will sue your A$$ off without giving it a second thought

I have not severed any relationship because of money so far but I did get upset at times when people pretended that they have forgotten about what they owe me. I avoid giving loan to relatives completely since most of the time they would not oay and gives lots of excuses to avoid paying you back.
