they said, never lend your money to a friend?

I never loan more than I can afford to lose. Most of my friends I could loan money to and pretty much be sure I wouldn't lose the friendship because 1. they would pay me back, and 2 I tend to write loans off as gifts and if they pay me back great but if not I wasn't really counting on it anyway. I have one friend though who is constantly asking for money. Every time I loan her money I know theres almost no chance shes even going to attempt to pay it back and usually a little later I find out she had the money but didn't feel like going to her car or her room or whatever to get it so she just borrowed it from me instead.. That's incredibly frustrating and its ruining the relationship. I avoid her. I feel like shes stealing from me and I like her a heck of a lot less then I did before she started acting like I was her bank.

Mixing business (aka money) and personal is never recommended.

I am so sorry your friend has never paid you back. it's hard to feel like a pest... one time I had to use the same lie that was given to me, and then, i was only able to get a small part of what i lent back. i had to call her and explain what type of trouble i am in and say that you know you lent her some money and wondered she could pay some of it back to help you out now.

I do not feel that statistic about student loans is correct. student loans are never forgiven and cannot be erased through bankruptcy.... the lender will get their money back, even if they have to garnish your wages.

Money is the one thing that comes between friends and family more often than anything else.

It's been that way for centuries. Read what Polonius said in Shakespeare's Hamlet:

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

(if you don't understand the last line, it means that someone who constantly borrows from people loses the urge to work and earn for himself - "husbandry" = work or industriousness. He becomes used to someone else taking care of his needs)

Never lending money to a friend is true, sad but true. As for student loans, they are never forgiven, you can't even bankrupt a student loan. They may not be paying now but the government will catch up to them and when they start having their wadges garnished than they will be paying them back.

and they said it for a reason ,they also said everything happens for good ,may be see was not truly your friend.
