Would you lend money to your friend?
Superb Opinion
Nope. I’ve never heard of a story where it ended well.
I’m willing to give them money or gift them money.
But, it can get weird quickly and friendships can turn sour when a friend OWES another friend money.
I’d rather GIFT a friend $10,000 and let them keep it all, rather than lend a friend $1,000 and have this weird tension between us because they haven’t paid me back on time.

Yes I will consider it depending on the situation. I will also see if they have the capacity to return that loan that I might lend or not.
Also I would want to be assured that they lend it on a reasonable time limit. Only if I am confident then I will consider lending the money.
I would lend them money emergency or not an emergency and I will not expect noting from that person that is what our religion teaches us to help people don't be selfish think about if you were in that person's shoes would you like someone to help you?

It depends for what?
There is a difference if a friend needs money for their health problems hospital fee etc or for rent because they will be a homeless tomorrow.
That’s what money is for.. to spend it.

I've only lent or borrowed money from friends that would be on a gift level anyway, and because the circumstance was awkward, like cash only, being in a bad spot temporarily or something. If I was the one borrowing I made repaying a priority. Like perspective can be different towards what 300 dollars is, and drive a wedge between people over something trivial in the grand scheme of things.
-
If lending money to someone puts a strain on your finances, or if you have to sacrifice a lot to manage your expenses after that, you should avoid doing it then. However, if you have enough savings or a big enough emergency fund, and little or no debt, you could perhaps help out a friend.

When I was 17 or 18 I lent my buddy $50 to get his license. Then instead of paying me back, he used his paycheck to buy a new sound system for his car. Completely destroyed our friendship lol
Now I don't lend friends money. I give them money. - 1.6K opinions shared on Family & Friends topic.
Sure, real friends help other friends whenever possible.
-
Sure, but I wouldn't think of it as a loan. I think of it as a gift. So I wouldn't expect repayment at all and if he does repay, it'd be a nice bonus.
That means I'd only be willing to "lend" to the extent of our friendship (randos don't get big gifts) and my ability to afford it.
-
Yes I will but I doubt they will encounter a financial crisis because they come from pretty rich families. I have spent money on them while hanging out, they have done the same too.
-
Sure if they needed help. One to three times yes after that maybe if they are in super need (like a child) but after five times I will tell them sorry I have no idea who you are.

As for me I’m a friend when I’m a friend but when it comes to money I’m not your friend & I’m not a bank as well.
-
I don't have any friends. But also lending anything to those who don't live right next to me is a bad idea

For basic needs like food, clothes, prescribed medications, water or shelter, absolutely. But not for non-necessities like drugs or alcohol.

Well I've lent money to my mom before and she's always paid me back when she has the same amount of money I gave her

Depends on how much. Any more than $1,000 I would not unless I got collateral.
-
I would. I’ve very little gelt and no way to spend it, so I wouldn’t be that kind of dude who wants it back one day.
-
If a friend needed money and I had some I would lead it but if I have give them some before and they didn't give it back then I would just tell them I have no money
- 1.2K opinions shared on Family & Friends topic.
No, I would not lend money to a friend. I like my friends to keep staying friends and the only way I can do that is to not lend the money and get into a conflict at the end of that problem
-
If my friend is a Turkish man, then hell yes. But you have to raise me, kids, if I make you rich.
