Last summer I decided to go against my better judgement and "help someone out". This someone was a co-worker who had been down on his luck for several years due to medical problems as well as just being plain unlucky. The way I helped him is buying selling him our unused (but still rather nice nice and fully functioning) car that we had planned to sell in the near future anyway. He and I agreed that he would pay me $50/month until he received a "lump sum" of money from a trust that he pulled from yearly that comes up in February. Well over the course of the last 6-8 months I think he's actually paid me about $150, his cell phone has been disconnected, he doesn't respond to my emails, and won't call me back after I left a message at his work desk phone. I'd say it's likely that we'll never actually get paid at this point.
Moral is: Don't ever help anyone, ever.
edit: He owes us about $1,800 for the car, should I take him to court over it?
