borrowing money and neglecting..

maybe its the reason why the bible said that if you lend something to somebody, prepared to receive no pay. i do not know the exact word but its something like if you want to lend something to somebody, think of it as if you gave it already and not expecting for return.

I think anyone who needs and borrows money act this way. This is the reason why I am always reluctant to lend money because of this certain attitude. Call me a Scrooge but I think many borrowers are selfish when they conveniently forget their obligation to pay, especially when the lender is their family or friend. My mother and my aunt are well-known lenders in our area even though they don’t like to lend money to people (unless they know the borrower personally). They taught me (and by experience) that some people are clearly insensitive and shameless when it comes to money. This is the reason why they have lists and written contracts regarding people who borrow from them. I understood that some people are not good in handling their money or might encounter bad luck in their finances. However, many people forget that money is not only the object in this transaction – there is also trust and expectation. And if those were also broken, things are not just catered on money anymore. Anyway, hope that they will pay you soon. I am also in the same situation. I hope I will not be led into serious fights because of money. Then again, I might as well prepare.

There are countless of them I guess. It's just so sad that after their due and you will be going to get the money they have lots of reason and sometimes even get mad at you. So lame. They seem so helpless when they need help but after you have helped them they just neglect it. Anyway time will come that all the people around them will not lend a helping hand anymore.

In general, I think it is a bad idea to lend money to a friend if you want your friend to remain your friend. But after saying that I guess you should really find out why your friend needs the money. People borrow money for various reasons; some may need it to pay for esential food items, school fees, bills, medical fees etc while others are borrowing to feed their bad habits like gambling, drinking, smoking etc. They will usually tell you the reason if their needs are genuine. Do not lend them money to feed their bad habits. If you can afford it then it's better that you give him the money and consider it as a gift rather than expecting him to repay you. If you cannot afford it then perhaps you can help find some other ways of making extra income like recommending him a part time job, etc. These are just my opinions.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, most of the people are in this sort, they can do anything to borrow the money, after getting money they forget about every thing and not interested in paying the debts, some of the fake friends are in this sort, better to keep distance from them

Hi, When somebody borrows money from me, I don't know why but I noticed they always ask how much is the interest by the time I hand them the money. I always say "no interest, but make sure to give it back on time because I don't like to keep reminding you, when it's over due" aside from people close to me meaning a family member. Those who borrowed from me, never fail to give it back on time, but when a member of my family borrows money from me, I always ask them jokingly " are you borrowing or asking " ofcourse they will say " borrow", and when they borrow it actually means asking. @_@.

A lof of people do that because they are in debt. They borrow money from one person to pay another person. Life is so difficult for them. Maybe, their income is insufficient and they have a lot of children so it's not enough for them. I hope they will not promise if they can't make it on time.

There are so may people like that who ignore their responsibilities.It is okay if they can't pay on time as long as they know their responsibility and would try to explain why is that so and not just ignoring as if nothing happens.
