lent someone money...

Oh no! That's not good. It has happened to me a long time ago and I kept it from my husband. He eventually found out about it because I was stressing over it. It took that person so long before the money was returned. My husband has to shell out more money just to fill up the short in my budget but made me promise not to do it again. Oh well, lesson learned, lend only what you can afford not to see again.

I've been in your shoes and it's true there is nothing you can do about it but wait.

This is the main reason why I always make sure that I could only lend out the amount that is 'extra' for me. I would never take it from the budget nor from the expenses I know I need to pay. I know it sounds pretty selfish because I never lend money easily. Anyhow, perhaps you could 'borrow' for now but have it as a lesson-learned. For sure, the husband would be angry. But perhaps you should just admit this fault and make sure that she does pay. Have a great Mylot experience ahead!

We really be careful in lending money. Well, it is good gesture but of course if they promise to pay on that day, they should really pay you. The thing is sometimes, the fate is a little playful. When we need the money the most no one could ever lend us or the person who borrowed money for us won't pay.

Sorry to hear that...we experienced it too. I needed money before and lend some money to my co-worker and she promised to give it to me but when the day came she never showed up and text me that "sorry I thought you don't need it so I gave to someone who came to me last night",I am very disappointed during that time. Then I have no choice but to tell the truth to my husband that i need money and asked for my co-worker to lend me some and he angry with me because according to him better to lend money to him than to other people. For then I learned to manage my budget and try to save as much as possible. I am hoping that you can pass this situation of yours and don't be stress I am sure you will find away about this matter. Goodluck

I lent money to my classmate when I was in middle school because that she wanted to buy gift for her boyfriend. But until now we don't contact with each other and she never talk about this thing. And now I don't lend money to anyone else.

I have stopped lending money to any of my friends now because of the fact that I have let them borrow a fair amount in the past and I have never been able to get it back from them. Although they're only small amounts being given to each person, they all add up and it means that I am a little out of pocket. I wouldn't mind if these people would pay me back, but the majority of them think that it's alright to just not bother, and that isn't something that I am happy with in the slightest. I suppose you just have to protect yourself at times like this.

It's really difficult to lend someone money because when we need it and they can't repay it will be us who will be in trouble. We have to find people who can lend us money too. It's too embarrassing at times to ask some people to lend us and they reject helping us. It's definitely stressful if we are short and badly need the money.

Hello, This is such a sticky situation truly. On one side you have your friend whom you cannot force to return the money and on the other your husband who might get angry when he hears this. I have known friends who have lent money and got into such situations. It is difficult specially when the person who has borrowed is a friend of ours. The only thing you can do is perhaps to ask your friend to borrow from another person and give you back the money. This will at least save you from your hubby's anger. May be you should stop lending money because it has been a tough call for you this time. I really hope something can be done about this.

The main reason why I never lend money from friends is simply because money can be a root of misunderstanding between friends. I do have some notorious friend for lending money without paying. For us, it would be better to lend money from financial institution which offers an interest rather than asking a friends money. With this concept in our mind, never did a friend able to lend money from us, unless in emergency or life threatening purpose.

Just don't give money to such people then. I know a lady like that, who never return the money as she promised. And I have been wondering how people still lend us money. The woman I am talking about receive good salary. Just she always promise to everyone who give her money she will give them back at the same date to everyone and the money from her salary are usually not enough.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your situation, you must give importance to your hubby , he is important to you. If your friend have the ability to repay your money soon, then you can give her, otherwise tell some suggestion to her to earn money

I once heard someone say, "Never expect to get money back from a friend. If you're going to lend a friend money go into it prepared you won't see it again." Unfortunately friends have a tendency to take a long time to pay back or not pay back at all because they are our friend and they believe we will be more forgiving.
