they say if you let a friend borrow money don't expect it back.. so it's not borrowing.. it's giving..
thats actually in the bible somewhere.. lol.. something along those lines..

It really depends on the situation. I've borrowed from friends only when necessary & pay them back ASAP. If it's more than a couple bucks I put everything in writing so there's no misunderstanding later.
Friends have borrowed from me too & sometimes I've lost both the money & the friend because of it. I've actually had one "friend" become angry @ me when I asked her politely if she could pay back some of what she owed me. Some friends have paid me back as soon as they could w/o being reminded. I've learned to only loan out what I can afford to lose (which ain't much) unless I am certain of the friend's integrity.

When i was a teenager i used to borrow money from my friends all the time. I would return it but as i got older it became sort of weird. I don't think it's appropriate to borrow money unless it is an absoloute emergency like if you need bail money or an emergency lung transplant. As an adult, when returning money, I usually always invite whoever i borrowed from and buy them a drink when i give it back to thank them...

I personally dont like doing that because it causes a strain if your not able to pay them back on time or in whole sum as they gave it to you. If you were to borrow money, I would pay it back with a small amount of interest. It shows good faith in borrowing.

No borrowing money is fine..if ur gonna be able 2 pay it back (especially if itz ALOT of $)and if ya know ur not gonna be able 2 pay it back then don't ask 4 the money cuz u'll never pay it back and that could ruin ur friendship with him/her.

it is not a good idea. i have learned that from every friend i have borrowed money from, being a friend, they should pay you back, not have to hound them for it. afterwards, you soon realize, the friendship was not a good one, when your friend stiffs you for a lousy 20 dollars

money is the root to all evil. if it's a very good friend i would not do it. anything can happen. and i tell you what a good friend is hard to find in these days and time. i wouldn't do it
