I just lent my brother $500 with the assumption I would be getting it back. Do you think it's going to happen...NOT!!!
I could use that money right about now.

I'm too poor to lend people money, so honestly I hate it when people ask. As a general rule, I don't lend money unless I'm prepared to accept that I might not get it back. Lending money can lead to so much drama, resentment, broken relationships ect. A year ago, I went to go meet a friend (for the first time) in another state. We live very far apart, so met in a state in the middle. I had bought a plane ticket and everything. A week before the trip, he tells me he's not gonna be able to pay for his half of the hotel, but that he could pay me back a week or so after the trip. I had no choice but to say yes (i couldn't refund the plane ticket). Anyways, so he's never paid me back the $100 he owes me. And he lives far away, so it's not like I can just go and demand it. I am still bitter about it though. He makes more $ than i do and has way less expenses, and I'm a struggling single mom. There have been many times when I desperately could have used that $100. So I really try to avoid lending people money.

I have never had the opportunity to lend family money, but no I would not expect it back. I have the same attitude for anyone I lend money to. I would like the loan paid back but I don't expect it.

Yes I do and no I do not. I hope to get it back or part of it but I don't expect to ever see that money again. Why?
They are family, you do what you can for them, when you can... it is a small part of what being a family is all about. I know they would do the same for me if they could.

Yes I have, and yes I expected it back. And I have also BORROWED from family, and paid it back with better interest than they could have gotten just by putting it in a savings acount.
You did it out of love and concern, though I guess you won't do it again.

My Brother and I have always had a real good system, If one does'nt have the money, the other usually does! We are always sharing and willingly pay each other back! One hand washes the other!!!! Sorry yours did not work out so well!!! sometimes the greatest lessons in life cost us $$$$

I used to but now I know that since their your family they intend to pay you late or never pay you so I decided to make a excused every time they tell me to lend them money.

Yes I did , without expecting it back, but I was repaid much more than that when I needed it . Yes my family is pretty close knitted, you won't find such strong bonds often. I am proud of it . Thank God.

I'm the family loan shark ...
Sure I'll lend you money ... but the interest rates are obscene.

Sometimes but with the knowledge that it is really a gift. I don't expect it back.
