Have you ever borrow money to your friend? How many did you give him? The situation is this. I have this very good friend from high school. I didn't see him for 5 years (moved to US). Last month i found some old friend from facebook and got his number. I called him and talked with him today. He is having problem with money and i offered to help (he didn't asked, but i know he need money). i know him well enough that he will try his best to return the money, but if he is able to is another story. should i send him 1000, and wait later to send him more or send 5000 in one shot?
Depends on who it is. If you really do trust him then send it all at once, if not then I wouldn't recomend doing that at all. Plus not speaking to someone for 5 years and then giving them money isn't exactly an amazing idea.
im facing the same situation as you about 3 years ago. We're at the same college for about a year then im further my study at difference university. After 4 years, i found her at the same university. She lend my money and never pay it back. Im so frustrated not because of that issues but due to she never calling me about that money and keep away from me until now. I also don't asked about that money but as a friend it was totally suck to been played like that. It depend on you, but my opinion don't give that much to him. You should help him by teaching how to generate money online rather that purely give him a bulk of money without giving something.
I wouldn't lend a friend any money. It will change the relationship. I'm sure surfaddict can attest to that. If you have the resources and want to help, just give him the money. Still, I think you need to decide for yourself whether you are truly helping your friend by giving him money. Sometimes it's of help, and sometimes it's not.
I hardly ever borrow money. Currently 2 people owe me a total of $250. Taken 2 months so far and still haven't paid back. Lending people money is so stressful, I strive to never lend any money to anyone.
I think i will just give him the money instead of loaning him. I believe he really need help.. i know i am not using my brain...but he is my dude..what can i do
i meet a guy on DP and we talked for 4 months and he needed 300$ so i give him 300$ i think he will pay me it back
I would never lend money to my friends unless they were begging me for it simply because I have seen money come between friends before and ruin friendships
Why don't you try to help him making his own money? Is that possible? If not, just give him 1000....5000 seems to much, at least for me.
He is the head contractor and he need to pay his worker in order to finish the job and get paid. He doesn't have the cash right now and can't get a loan from bank a few friend loaned him around 4000, but it is still not enough
Funny you ask...I just recently (last week) loaned someone from here $11 but for some reason I don't think I will be getting it back.
So someone has scammed you for 11$?? Look at the scammers dudes, even mods are infected .. haha I hope you will get it mary To OP, yes it is good to help other but please keep your safety first
No this person is definitely not a scammer, i considered them to be a good friend of mine, but sometimes things just don't work out like you plan for them to. Honestly, I knew when they asked for the loan, they meant..can i have $11 for christmas...lol It sure won't break me, so don't feel to bad
He can't negotiate with the workers to pay them when he receives the money? Or give the workers and advance with the 4000 he already have and pay them the rest when he receives it...? Just some ideas...
Give it to him without saying if its a loan or not. I'm sure in due course, he'll return it If he is unable to, well you tried to help him dincha.
it doesn't work that way. Those guy only work when the money is there (my dad is a contractor too so i know the business) the whole market is bad.that's why he is in deep shit. (my dad was fxxk before too..one construction didn't pay after the job is done. He lost 200k on that job...)
It all depends on the kind of the friend , that's why you only are able to decide ... but don't forget that immigration may change people
