    Don’t loan your friend money.

    Give it to them and never expect it back.

    That old saying about loaning a friend money means you’ll probably lose the money and the friend both is pretty true.

    My bff and I don’t loan cash for any purpose, as previous bad experiences have tainted trying to help people with cash. And I’m gay so no gf.

    $4k and a clear conscious. Ez pz.

    Wouldn’t the answer be “for what?” I’ll help a friend out with medical payments or car stuff if they can’t commute no problem - if they’re asking me for cash for something dumb, I’m probably not friends with them in the first place.

    ah yes. being greedy towards your best friend and relationship for checks note $3000…

    i know this is a joke but some people would actually do this…

    like im single so cant speak on that front but even if my friend asked for $5000 id still give it to him.

    if you dont help your best friend with everything you can, are you really his best friend? or is he just some dude thats chill to hang out with?

      I’m the same, but the last friend I lent 3k to for her rent ended up ghosting me so she wouldn’t have to pay me back. I’m not sad. Its honestly money well spent to know how little our friendship is worth.
