It's not "never lend money".It's "Call it a loan, consider a gift, and be pleasantly surprised if they pay."

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nineIt's the ten crack commandments. WhatNumber 6:That goddamn credit, dead it.You think a crackhead payin' you back? Shit, forget it.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,For loan oft loses both itself and friend,And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

he's good for it, like i said he's a good guy and under normal circumstances i honestly wouldn't care if he ever paid me back, it's not a lot of money and he needs it more than i do (in general)but my wallet got stolen on NYE and i can't get at the money in the bank, so i'm trying to round up all the cash i have floating about so i can get by till my new cards/IDs come in the mail
1/7/2010 7:45:10 PM
I let a boyfriend at the time use my credit card, charged up to $1000 on it and still owes me like $400 but I still have his mini fridge and he gave me a wii for my bday one year so I just pretend in my head that we are even. Loaned this guy at work $50 and he paid me back the next day and cheesecake for interest. I'm too nice sometimes, but I have to believe people have good intentions, especially my friends.

What were you thinking loaning money to someone who seems to have so little intelligence?
