Do you think a friend should always give you money or borrow money from you ?

Well I always never keep money things with friends. Incase of atmost need or emergency, i give them and never ask for it. I believe money always cause break in friendship.

friends shouldn't be taken for granted for they are treasures and plays a great role in our lives. They are always there to help us out but if they are the ones who are giving money, we should know how to return it back. Nothing should be taken for granted. :)

I don't think that lending or borrowing money from friends regularly is a healthy habit. Any misunderstanding regarding money can damage a friendship forever. For emergency cases, borrowing money would be okay. But if it something that is done several times, and worse, if your friend doesn't pay on time or doesn't pay at all, then you will surely be affected.

You are right, it is good to have friends. But you also have to help them, be it financial or not. If we really have the money on hand and some friend would borrow, I would give them. But if by chance that my friend asks for some money and I really don't have then I say honestly that I really don't have and will tell them that if I can have, next time I will lend them. But if there's a friend who keeps on borrowing money, even if you don't ask them to pay you back and they got so easy on you because your so good to them and they take advantage of you, well you can decide it my friend. If you let that friend to borrow your money, you will not be helping them the right way but spoiling them already because they know that they can depend on you and they will not be bending their back to work because you are the solution to their financial problem. Teach them the right way also. You cannot help a friend who is already abusive. You can also easily detect if a friend is lying or not or if he/she keeps on promising but not doing it.

Some people say a friend should never lend or borrow, bit life sometimes Deals a heavy hand and it's nice too be able to borrow or lend, but always pay the money back as soon as possible like on payday or atleast payments.

Friends is fortune, but I think friends earn money together is better than give or borrow money, a real friend is more important than money, all of the world is in the same camp, is it ok?

Well, wildlittlefan, I think both of them are not comfortable for me.Money here is seldom involved into friendship. Firstly, I never have a friend who always gives me money? Why? It's a little weird. Do you need turn the money back later?(It's kidding!)If I cannot feed myself, I think I will borrow some money, I mean I will ask for help by myself. Otherwise, I don't want my friends give me money. Secondly, I don't think I will lend money to a guy who always borrow money. It's really troublesome! Like you said it will be my burden. But if only once or twice, I think that will be okay!

if i have money i would help a friend in need,but they would have to be a good friend not just someone i know,as for me asking for money,i don't think i've ever asked to borrow money,only if i forgot my purse and needed something from the shop and i then pay them back later on when i get home

If a friend would ask repeatedly to borrow money from me and not pay it back. Then I would consider not being friends with that person anymore. I don't want to have the bad feeling about being used like an ATM machine. But I can understand there are times where they are in a real bind for money and may need your help. Then I would help them and expect them to pay back the money they borrowed.

Hi wildlittlefan, This is a very sensive topic.Every one will meet this problem. In my opinion, there are two situations: one,they are your the best friends; the other one, they aren't your friends. I think borrowing or lending money can try your friendship. It is difficult to associate a real friend, so we must value them. Happy Mylot. Best wishes. Your friend, jxndwl

A true friend never count what she or he has done for a friend. A true friend always gives a helping hand without thinking for a return. A true friend is the one you can always count on be it financially or emotionally.

getting money is good but i don't want to accept money from my friend.it is because they will think that we are friends because of the money.on other hand,i will be really uncomfortable if my friends wanted to borrow some money..it is bot that i'm selfish but with my position as a student..i don't have any income and i depend on my parents..

If we abuse our friends they will think that we are not a good friend. Of course if our friends is abusing us by borrowing money we will be mad specially if they are not paying. Good friends are always willing to help specially in time of need, good friends also knows how to pay his debt. Happy myLotting!

True friends are hard to fine that's why we need to treasure them. A true friend will always help out a friend in need without expecting any payment because helping someone in need always bring good feelings to the helper. However, we should not abuse a friend who is always willing to lend us a hand.A person could only take so much..on the other hand, as a friend we should help out a friend in need but we should not do it often for that friend may get used to that and we open the chances for abuse or that friend might resent us for giving him/her money so often, that it would look as if we are more affluent than him/her and she/he would look so pitiful in the eyes of other people. There are people or friends who will keep on asking money from friends, because they are tolerated. If that will happen, being a friend to that person, we should tell them that it is not good to always ask for money from friends. They might get hurt but if we tell them in a nice way, they would probably realize their mistakes. and if they will get angry at us and resent us for telling them, well, they are not a true friend, aren't they? better lose someone like that than keep them.

A friend isn't a bank. Sure you can borrow some money but don't do it if it's not absolutely necessary. By borrowing money you can really destroy friendships. Who has not lost a friend because of fight?
