    Loaning money to family/friends.

    How do you feel about that?

    It all depends. If the person really needs it and is known to be a hard worker, I would do it in a heartbeat. But if they were a slacker and don't know the value of hard work, then they would have to earn it. Regardless, I'll give them money.

    It depends on the amount and if I trust them enough to pay it back. If it's my immediate family, there's no question about it.

    I wouldn't call it a loan. They can just take it if I have it.

    If the person honestly and reeeally needs it, then I wouldn't mind helping out. But borrowing money just so they can go out and have fun and then not pay me back little by little when they are able to is a slap in my face.

    In my world, "maybe" is just a polite way to say "it's probably not gonna happen". =(

    Depend on the amount. When i borrow someone money because i lack some, I pay it back when i said i will. If i say i pay you back tomorrow, then i'll pay tomorrow. I don't like to lose a friend's trust.

    I don't have many people I consider friends and family but once you're there, we don't count or worry about money.

    I've learned that it's best NOT to lend money. First, it doesn't teach them anything about money and they'll forever depend on you to bail them out. Second, it really creates tension in the relationship, especially if you don't set clear guidelines on when the $ needs to be paid back.

    With that said, it's tough for me to say no because I have a soft heart. Based on the situation, I just give and don't expect to be paid back. I will only give if I can afford it.
    There are things beyond my control. And then there's me.

    My honest response is, I'm willing to help anyone that asks. But trust is gained. When someone breaks my trust the first time, it's usually broken for good. If someone says I'll pay you on so-so date, I'll expect payment on so-so date. But if someone says, I'll pay you back when I am able to, I'll take their word for it. If they never pay me back, they would never be able to ask me again and there would be no hard feelings. We all need help every now and again. Even if someone said, "Can you help me but I'm not sure I can pay you back" I would help them if I could. I try not to deny help to anyone. BUTTTTTTT, it doesn't take a genius to realize when someone is just using you and I'm pretty good at seeing that.

    Then there's the possibility that I just can't help out and it's easy. I can't help out. End story.

    There is no doubt in my mind I'd help out my family. The same goes for my friends.

    One main reason why I dislike going to sok khmer is the constant, I need to borrow money to start a business, need to borrow money to buy land, i'm building a house and need money, marry my daughter she needs a sugar daddy etc.

    I'm done being a bank
