I'm not mean, but I really dislike that. one of my friends comes to me several times when she need money. at the beginning I helped her. but after several times I feel annoyed. I have my problems, my needs and my wants. Not all my needs and wants are satisfied, and I'm lending money to satisfy her. That makes me feel ridiculous. What's your thoughts?

i had a different feelings with you and my thought process in this kind of people are always broad and often gave them the benefit of the doubt. when people do come to me (countless times already) and ask if i could spare them some amount, and as long as i have extra which often don't, i still bleed to them. i had no problem about it. the problems lies when it's payback time already, that is where a lot of disagreements and sometimes hateful conversation. the only thing that i don't like is, when you said and promise to pat it back in a certain time or date then make sure you fulfill such and don't let it be a hard time for me to ask to pay me back. once you broke this situation, you already crossed the line of disrespecting me. so, once is enough, twice is too much and if you ask for the second time, you'll hear a lot of reasons from me why i can't lend you this time.

you are a generous person. yes, when they delay or ignore the return, there's no next time for sure. But seems most of those guys don't have the idea of return at the very beginning of borrowing.

I do agree with you.But to some extent I will help the people with money.Some people after getting money won't return back the money on the correct time.Thats what I hate in people borrowing money from me.But I will certainly help the poor people with money.Happy mylotting

that's exactly what's in my mind. There are people really need a small money and once they get it, they can manage a big job. But those ones who like to borrow money sometimes can be richer than you and me. They just enjoy exploring the opportunities.

It's ok for me to lend money to my friend as long as she pay it back when the time she promise to pay. What annoys me is, after you lent them a money they forget to pay you and lots of alibi.Sometimes they forget that they owe you a money, and when you asked the payment, that said later, tomorrow and etc.I hate that and next time, i will never lend them again. Ever!happy myloting!

I don't bother asking for return anymore. When being asked for money, if it's a tiny amount, I just give it as a gift, otherwise no way.

the problem is they don't feel embarrassing. once you don't satisfy them, they think you are the one who are embarrassing.

I understand how you feel. I myself hate to borrow from or lend money to others. Getting back the money is sometime so awkward, oweing people's money makes me feel there's a burden in my heart.

Me too, I never borrow money either. Sometimes I ask a favor from friends but never beyond small jobs, and I always try to find a way to return the favor.
