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? Emma
I never lend money to friends. I prefer to give money to someone who needs it. Maybe I'll get it back, or maybe I won't. I just sent a friend some money to help pay for his rent. It's a surprise. He's out of work, and I know he's going through hard times. When he gets a job, he'll probably pay me back. Don't you think I'm right? William
