Lied to borrow money.

Yesterday, one of my neighbors have asked to borrow some money. The reason is because her mother was hospitalized stroke. But then I found out that she had lied. Her mother was well, and she only borrowed money to attend the wedding of her grandson. Why would she do that? I think that should not be taken for health reasons of relatives to borrow money. Do you think so?

She knew if she told the truth you wouldn't let her borrow.

Maybe. But she can tell me another reasons, right?

@infatuatedbby Maybe you're right. She can think that reason will be easier to convince me.

That's so terrible that your neighbors lied to you. I would feel betrayed. Hopefully they will return the money to you as soon as possible. This will be the best situation. But I am sorry to say that they already lost their credits.

Oh , that is a very bad lie just to borrow money . She could just have told you the truth that she would want to buy a gift for the wedding of her grandson , but have no money yet .

pretending a family member is seriously ill is a terrible excuse. i hope you follow her up so she can pay you, but don't let her borrow money from you again. tell her you have important expenses coming up.

She might be trapped in certain situation, and therefore she borrowed some money from you eventhough she had to make a lie. But I think she shouldn't use that reason for borrowing money from you. So what happened then after you found out her mother was actually well?

I still not meet her from she borrowed me. But I feel not good. Maybe I will not ask her an explaining about the reason. I think that is her thinking. I just feel it's not good if we lied about health of our relatives to borrow money.

Yes, I'm thinking about that. I must say that she borrowed me many times before. The reasons is about her mother health, too. I don't believe that why a person can do like that with their mom :(
