It’s a subject that can cause arguments. Recently I’ve realised I’ve lent out way more money then I’ve got back, I’ve also witnessed my friend in the same predicament, people just taking our money and saying they’ll pay us back later. It’s something that’s always confused me because whenever I borrow money, I always pay it back or give them something of equivalent value. So I’m going to ask you guys some questions and I’m interested to hear your answers.
- Have you ever lent anybody any money?
- Did you get it back?
- If yes how long did it take?
- If no how long was it until you gave up?
- Would you ever lend money again?
If you haven’t lent anybody any money then answer these questions:
- Would you ever lend your friends money?
- Would you care if they didn’t give it back?
Now for some questions about borrowing money:
- Have you ever borrowed money?
- Did you give it back?
I understand that this can be quite a personal topic so I’m not asking for anyone to reveal the amount they borrowed or gave out or any specific details. I just want to know if there is any method I can use to get my money back or if there is an average period of time after which I should give up.
