Title: What's your personal policy about lending money?
Post by: Rman on February 08, 2008, 02:09:38 PM
Homeless people on the street: Rarely.  Sometimes I offer food.  Sometimes pocket change.

Friends: Never, unless in emergencies.  And in that cause I will just give the money away.  I hate having money in between my friendships--it totally changes the relationship.

Family--Never, I just gift it if they need help.

With homeless people I'd rather just buy them some food than give them money. But I gave $20 to this one homeless woman once; she had a kid, so I couldn't ignore her

homeless- if i'm charitable, but would rather give to shelters or other organizations

friends- depends.  i have two friends where we'll cover each other and we trade off fairly regularly so it's fine.

family- don't have any beyond parents.

homeless: my change and if they're asking for food (or have children), I'll get them food. 

Friends: Depends on how close they are and how well I know them to be financially stable.  I'm not going to help them out because they were being extremely irresponsible.  We all have rought patches though.  If I give it, I really don't expect it back.

Family: If I have it, all you have to do is ask because my family would definitely do the same for me.

Homeless- I've never encountered a homeless person on the street the entire time I've lived here, but I'll give them my change if I have any, I hate carrying change

Friends- Depends on how much I like them. I've got a select inner group, not anyone is eligible. I expect them to pay it back in some way.

Family- Nah, fuck them, they wouldn't return the favor

The only person you should look out for is yourself.

if i lend money, i'm basically assuming i will never get it back.

this helps me not to "lend" too much out.
