lending out money

I bet you lend out $100 bucks all the time and never expect it back, right? It's a $100 bucks. Plus, he said he'd pay me back promptly - my feathers aren't ruffled over the money really, although to me it is a lot of coin. It's just that he said he'd pay me back and he hasn't for 3 months. If you don't want to pay me back, fine, but don't say you will and then don't - had you told me you wouldn't pay me back the $100 bucks I wouldn't have lent it to you in the first place.

If it's that big of a deal to you, then demand payment and ruin your friendship. Plus if you didn't have a notary around while you signed the contract, there's nothing you can do but bitch about it which is pointless to do in the first place.

Lesson Learned: Don't lend money to friends and family that you expect to get back.

I hate owing people so I pay back ASAP on the extremely rare occasions that see me borrowing.

co-sign.



A promoter owes me $350 (tho i said I'd settle for 200, and I've not even gotten THAT yet). Another DJ who booked me owes me $75.


And the old friend who i let crash at my pad owes me about 300. However, he is MIA and I will prob never see that money. I DO have some of his stuff in my garage which I'm about to try and sell, tho I honestly would feel bad keeping the money. plus, he might shank me. he was going thru a "sketchy" period last we were talking. I don't have any idea where he is or what he's doing.

i agree. if i were to lend out $100, i'd expect it back, especially after the person told me he'd pay me back. and i would not feel bad asking for it, either. AND i don't think that simply asking for the loan back will ruin a friendship. if the person gets testy because i asked for it back, THEY are jeopardizing the relationship, not i. what friend of mine should get mad because i need the money back?

if a friendship is lost over a request for payback, it was never real anyway.
 
rarely asked and don't need it myself
last time I loaned, it was to a long time buddy that was down on his luck...I gave him 180 and haven't heard from him in like 18 months...probably never see it again but I don't care
 
I owe like 300 to my boss for cell phone bills but I dont plan on paying him since the phone is primarily used for work. Its 80 bucks a month and last month I used 80 minutes, 60 of that 80 were for work. Then again, he hasnt asked for it so I doubt its an issue

me asking for the money back won't really ruin anything since the trust is broken for him not sticking to his word. I think I'll opt to call him out on not sticking to his word, but I won't ask for the money back. Does that make sense?


edit: who am I kidding, I'm too lazy to follow up or care about any of this in the end
