It depends. I learned the hard way not do do it too much. We loaned my son $700 a couple of years ago to fix his car. He never paid us back. So I guess that was just an expensive gift. I have lent money to my son-in-law and he did pay it back. After a hard lesson I try not to lend money to family. Funny, I'd almost rather lend money to a stranger, since I got burned by my son.

Only if I have the money and have enough for me to live off until I get more money, then I do not see why not at all.

I used to lend money to my friends when they asked, but I found that it could put a tremendous strain on friendships, especially when your friends do not always pay you back when promised. If I were to be paid back all of the money that I have loaned to friends in the past, who never paid me back, I would be a couple of thousand dollars richer. I know that I will never see much if any of this money since these loans were so long ago. I will not worry about ever collecting from these friends, and I will not hold these debts against them, but I have learned my lesson. I may loan a friend a couple of dollars if there is a good enough reason, but I would rather not loan money at all.

Hi, I have been down financially many times in my life and have been helped by other people. I would certainly help any friends or family who asked me if it was within my means to do so. What goes around comes around. :) cheers

I am in a tight financial situation myself. If somebody ask me for help financially, I would try whatever I could do to help that person. It would not be the amount of money they ask for, but I would actually give it to that person who is in need.
