If you feel that you want to help a friend financially, it is best to give the money as a gift that doesn't need to be repaid. So when your friend spends money on something silly you won't be upset about it. Do you agree? Rebecca
My parents give me a monthly allowance of $ 200. Some time ago I lent $ 150 to two friends. One paid me back months later after I begged and pleaded for the money back, and the other friend just disappeared. I had to borrow money from my sister to pay for my things I learned only to lend money when I don't need it. Do you think I’m right? Clyde
A close friend of mine has the habit of asking me to lend her money. Once she still owed me money, but she asked to borrow some more. She promised to pay me back within a week, but she never did. What makes me mad is that she went to Mexico on vacation with my money! I don't want to lose her friendship. What can I do? Angela
I never lend money to friends. I prefer to give money when someone needs it. Maybe I’ll get it back, or maybe I won't just send a guy some money. I didn't tell him. It's a surprise. He's out of work, and this is where the rent for next month is coming from. When he gets a job, he'll probably pay me back. Don't you think I'm right? Herbert
