I have come across many such people who borrowed money

from me but when I asked them to return they show an attitude like I have asked them something which I didn't lend.

Is it not surprising first you lend them money and then you tolerate their attitude for your own money?

Does it mean I should not help people for money?

I've had that experience several times. It's very frustrating. It's good if you have a lot of extra money lying around in your wallet when your borrower decides to not repay their debt but trouble arise when dire need for that money comes

@Janet357 Citing the pandemic as reason for not paying debt is a very lame excuse.

You should consider who you lend to, instead of just giving money away. Some people like to recive, but never really want to lend a helping hand. Good luck to you.

Such people are irritating and for them other's money is no money.

People are rude sometimes, and take advantage of good hearts, like yours.

Give and forget or don't give at all should be the attitude to save irritation later on in recovering that money.

give what you only can afford. a lot of people borrowed from me and my husband, some did not pay, others took 2 yrs before they could pay our $416. they only paid after some reminders.

This is always a tough issue to lend money. It is either lose a friend or the money. If you ever get your money back, it is a nice surprise.

I will say, learn from your mistakes.

Not all people are like that so be choosy. If you want help knowing the money won't be back then you can that way too.

I don't lend when somebody borrows from me, I just give them a small percentage of what they intend to borrow and tell them straight that there is no need to repay me and just borrow the rest from someone else.

I have a lot of experiences about lending money. I just have to be patient and practice some strategies when collecting from customers who buy mobile load or pay bills on credit. Those most of the time, my small business suffers because of this.
