Loaning people money....Do you ever get into this situation?

  • Someone asks to borrow money
  • Says they will pay you in a certain amount of time
  • Agreed upon timeframe has passed considerably
  • You kindly and politely ask for the money
  • Person you let borrow makes you the bad guy for asking

 

 

Has anyone ever went through this situation before?

Yes... and it's an awful feeling.  They make YOU feel bad for collecting.

 

Some more experienced lenders are very stern, and persistent and force the debtor to pay like it or not.

 

You're extra nice and patient about the whole thing from the start, but now you're the bad guy for even asking to get paid.  They try to avoid you.  They look the other way when you're walking towards them... just awful but I guess we should learn from the experience.

One never knows when they may need to borrow.

 

Quite easy to say "oh never me" or "I would just do without"

 

Big words for small minds.

 

I lend money when asked and able.

 

Karma is real, and someday that shoe may be on the other foot and I rather have it there than up my as for being such a dick head when a friend in a pinch needed a hand
