If the friend borrow money, and I have more money, the amount of the loan amount is a blessing if I give (not more than the loan amount). So I was not too disappointed if the loan does not return. Stay as a loan. Did you experience similar things? How does your attitude?

i will tell you a short story; my father was a person with a lot of money..and he had a lot of friends, and help all with money...a lot of money. After he die, in our house don t come any friend of my father to ask us..kids i mean..if we need something, and all money who my father borrow his friends was "for ever"...so, now if i can help somebody i help, i don t ask something back...but never i don t borrow money, and never ask money for someody, i try to live just with what i have. EWas a good lesson. Friends are friends only when you will give something...if not...your house is empty.There are not friends

Normally i don't lend money to a friend or borrow money from a fiend. In my opoion,nomatter you lend or borrow,later it will affect the relationship between you and your friend. Better not to borrow or lend money among friends.

Yes, I agree with you, Annie Sometimes this will happen not because of me, and indeed need to be assisted. But I do not want them too spoiled.

We have the same principles when it comes to letting friend/s borrow money from us. I usually allow them if I really have excess but if it is just enough. I cannot lend them money because I know it can make break our friendship. I don't want to think that the reason I cannot pay my utilities because I lend them my money. But if its an excess money, then even if they don't pay it back, it doesn't hurt by home budget.
