Hey Buddy, Gotta Dime? Poll (of course)
Hey Buddy, Gotta Dime? Poll (of course)
The older I get the more contemptuous or misanthropic toward people and money requests I become and there's only one person apart from family (and not many of them) I'll accommodate with a financial loan. The most unreliable for repayment over the years have been expats, and although admittedly this may have more to do with the company I keep, very few have ever come good with their commitment to pay me back.
So I put it to you. In what circumstances, if any, do you assist with a loan?
Who was the last person you loaned money to?

I "lent" a friend in HCM 1,000,000 Vnd a few weeks back. She is a local and asked for 3,000,000 Vnd and promised to pay it back. I did the same last year, but got screwed with Tet when all debts are forgiven and even ended up giving her another 500,000 Vnd for lucky money. Fuck.
I'm such a sucker, but I'm nowhere near as bad as I used to be.

Don't ever lend money.
I'd rather friends know I don't lend money from the outset than fall out with them over non payment, the odd $20 is fine.
Saying that I lend a mate back home £200 knowing I wouldn't get it back but I lived at his house and he helped me out when things were crappy for me.
Large amounts. No way.

I recently lent an expat here $250 as he was pretty much on the bare bones of his arse. I don't expect to get it back, but that's fine. He didn't ask for it. I offered it because it was clear he needed a bit of help. I never expect to get get loans back and accordingly help only when I feel the need is genuine.
I know I'm unloveable. You don't have to tell me. I don't have much in my life, but take it - it's yours.

IN the past have lent sizable amounts of cash and in bad times have had to borrow
BUT only those that i knew very well
I have been burnt (in the tens of thousands $$ range) but still believe in humanity and that for the most part, people are good at heart

I tend to give without being asked.
I know when a friend / mate is doing it hard - so I'll give them a bit of help and it's always my choice to assist.
However when someone hit's on me for cash, the door is usually closed in their face.
They are just hitting on me because they think I'll put out because I've done it for others.
Every now and again I'll do a pay it forward thing.
Not a big number, just a small amount of cash.
Sometimes small change and a bit of a chat makes a big difference to another persons life.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

I employ a bunch a numbskulls who have no idea on how to manage their cash.
They get paid thousands of dollars every second Thursday yet they are broke in less than a week.
I'm always lending out, @ 10% interest, thankyou very much !!
