I don’t lend money to friends. If I have it and they need it, I give it without expectation of being paid back. They’re a friend, right? If I’m in a bad spot and can’t fork over, I’ll just say so.

My feeling is if people could afford to pay me back, they wouldn’t ask for money in the first place. I’m happy to gift money and never expect it back. My very close longtime friends have never asked me for money, and I’ve never asked them. But we all know if we need help we are there for each other and will help in any possible way.

I used to have some women that would bkackmail me for sex. Loathsome creatures. I would have had them arrested if I could have. I can see them in handcuffs now…
Getting back on topic, what really grinds my gears is when people who can’t drive stick borrow my car.
Use the clutch, Luke!

Actions speak louder than words. I wouldn’t trust her with money anymore. Just tell her, honestly, that you don’t have enough money to do that anymore.

It was friends who helped without the expectation of being paid back that got me off the streets and back into functional society. I try to repay this debt by helping out the next person who needs a hand up.

@shutterbug I still don’t give money to friends and probably never will, I’ll do other things to help like move or give a ride but no money is coming out of my account for friends
Add on: I think what you do is noble I just won’t do it

That sucks. It really does. The nerve of some people.
Important to stay within your comfort zone - I get it.
Don’t know if I’m being noble, but I incurred an obligation and I am okay with it.

I’ve been on both sides. When I had it, I gave it. If I won the lottery I’d probably go broke spending on friends, gifts, paying bills, whatever.
