Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend

Want me to break his legs for you? That will speed up your predicament.

GenieOz · 24-03-2014 04:52PM

Never lend money to family or friends. Never lend money to anyone that you can't afford to never see again.

You've been Sozéd

After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone.

Doesn't matter. Money ruins relationships

It's a pity alright. Just think of what you could have achieved if you spent the money on grammar lessons....:pac:

if he isn't carefull he'll have a back eye. A man would keep to his word

oh grow up, it's been 4 months circumstances may have changed. Why give it if you were going to begrudge it even if he never gives it back. I'm sure if he had it you would have got it back, if not then you should have known his nature and not given it in first place.

By all means lend to family but consider it a bonus if the loan is ever repaid.

Birneybau · 24-03-2014 05:04PM

Thanks for sharing.

Said your brother.

I don't lend my family nor close friends money if they're in dire need I just give it to them knowing they'll help me out if I'm stuck.

My boyfriend lent his best mate 200 quid over a year ago (my boyfriend was out of work at the time and his best mate was working) and he hasn't paid it back. Boyfriend is still unemployed and could really do with the money now but your man has still conveniently forgotten. How could you forget someone lent you 200 squids? How could it not pass through your mind in all the time? Boyfriend defends him but I'd love to let it slip on a night out or something. Obviously I wouldn't but I'd love to.

Allow family and friends the dignity of calling the gift a loan.

The boyfriend probably lost that on the dogs and needed an excuse :-P

lollsangel · 24-03-2014 05:36PM

So 1300 has been repaid? Im guessing op he will sooner or later finish paying it. I avoid loaing money but also understand due date can be very much abused

The Backwards Man · 24-03-2014 05:40PM

I only lend money to someone when I don't give a sh1te whether they'd pay it back or not.

My old octogenarian boss many years ago was a wise old owl. She always said subbing people who never paid it back was a double loss. You're out the money you gave them and you don't see them again either.

Holsten · 24-03-2014 05:46PM

Don't lend money to ANYONE. EVER.

I wouldn't give my siblings a penny unless they were going to be homeless or something.

You lend people money you should expect to never see it again.

He has dishonored you, and now must be thrown to the lions.

You must have interesting relationships with your family members.

I've lent money to my siblings/they've lent money to me, no issues.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 24-03-2014 06:32PM

I don't even lend my family so much as a DVD never mind money!!

They won't spend five minutes in our company unless he wants something

You knew this and you leant the money knowing it, so why do it?
Seems to me there was probability it wouldn't be paid back on time so was a risk to take, also threatening to take engine out of his van because he is late with repayment makes me think whey would he want to spend time in your company. Isn't that something loan sharks would do?

There's another way of looking at this. Un-repaid loans can be considered a cheap way of discovering/eliminating false friends. If they pay you back, they really are friends; if not, it's worth the money to 'lose' them.

In any event, if you do lend at all, lend only what you can afford never to get back ...

I wouldn't know what a loan shark is like.

A good few years ago, I needed 1,500e and my sister gave me a loan. She asked me to set up a weekly direct debit. I was working full time so I paid her back 100e a week. If I'd gone to the bank, it would have taken me ages to pay the loan back because I would have opted to pay the lowest amount possible. Since it was my sister, I just wanted to pay it back as soon as I could! I hate being indebted to anybody and I don't understand how siblings would treat each other so badly when it comes to lending and repaying loans! If I lent money to my sister I know she'd pay it back straight away.. we were both raised under the same roof so we have the same values.

don't lend money to family
