do you expect to get your money back? ( o _ 0 ) Normally I lean towards never seeing my money again. Why? Because people that ask to borrow money didn't have it in the first place. So I know they're not going to be expedient in recipocating what they borrowed? I said my last statement with a question mark because it's not entirely true. Maybe 60 to 70% of people won't pay up? Your thoughts.

You either pay up or I'll get Louie the 3 fingered midget to mess you up! : )

I have at times loaned money without the expectation of being repaid. That is more often than not, and honestly, it has only been a handful of times I have lent a substantial amount. I always realize the risk I am taking, that there is the possibility that I may not be paid back the money. So, I always take into consideration the fact that that may happen. If it is a few dollars, it really isn't worth keeping track. A few times when it has been a substantial amount, I knew the person desperately needed help. So I gave them the money, called it a loan, but gave them the n=money knowing full well I wouldn't be paid back. I chalk it up to all the times I have had someone help me, then disappear before I could even thank them, let alone pay them back. Do unto others, but be careful whom you do unto, no need to be a doormat or an ATM machine and wind up in trouble yourself.

Me, personally, If I ever loan somebody money, I always have the intention of seeing it back. Because I just don't lend anybody any money if I know that person won't be able to return it. You can tell whether they can pay you back or not more like having a faith in them.

Depends on who I lend it to and the situation in which I lend it. If I lend it to a family member, mainly my mom or sister, because they dont have enough while we are shopping, I dont expect it back because I KNOW I am not getting it back. If its my room mate in that situation, I dont expect it back because we have a favor for a favor kind of relationship. My best friend or my boyfriend dont have to pay back because I probably already owe them and if I dont I probably wouldnt pay them back, either. Anyone else had better give me my damn money back, money dont grow on tree's. They are lucky I dont charge interest ;).

After getting burned out of thousands of dollars by my own mother, I now only lend money to to people I expect to pay me back. There are very few people I trust with money.

Funny you asked.... yes I do most of the time.
I have a friend right now that owes me $20 and is avoiding me like the plague. I guess she thinks I will ask for it. Wrong answer. I give from my heart and besides... if I hadn't had it, she would have never gotten it.

I don't loan money. I give it to people that need it. I don't expect them to pay me back and would never ask them to, unless they turned into mooches.

YES I DO! But if someone is just down and out, I do understand and will wait until they can afford to give it back. If it is someone that was just short that day then, GIVE ME MY MONEY!

that is charity. don't call it a loan then. but if you do make a loan, you should be paid back.
