I used to lend money to friends easily, but once I didn't get my money from a close friend, I stopped it, and now it's rare that I lend money to people. I feel very upset when I have to ask for my money from the people who borrowed it from me.

I don't know why people borrow money when they can't give it back on time. Money is evil, as it breaks relationships, so it is better not to ask for or give money to your loved ones, I believe.
 
These days? I don't try it anymore. I’ve lent a friend money before and lost both the cash and the friendship, lol. Some friends will change once you remind them about repayment. I only lend now if I can afford to never collect money again. If you return it, fine. If not, no problem whatsoever.
 
I used to lend money to my friends until May 20th of this year. A friend of mine whom I was trying to help out scammed me of almost 2 million. I vowed never to help anyone again in my life especially when it comes to lending money.

2 million dollars or naira?

It's huge money. I have made a rule in my life: I have decided on a limit, and above that limit I never lend money to anyone. It's better to break a relationship than to repent afterwards.
 
Years ago, I would have let my friends borrow money from me in a heartbeat because I knew I would get it back, but nowadays, I think I would be a little more cautious when it comes to lending money to my friends, unless I had given them money in the past and got the money back when they said without issue.

@Spooky Shortie I have left lending money to friends now because I get embarrassed when I have to ask for my money from my friend, but someone who borrowed money never feels shy and reacts differently when you have to ask for your own money.

I can fully understand what you mean. Asking for someone to lend you money is never easy, and you often feel judged when you do. I am the same, hate asking for help with money.

You would think people would be much more understanding, being the way the world is at the moment.
 
There is nothing wrong in lending money to your friends but it's always a very big problem when they can't pay back and now start to make problems with you over your own money. It's why I don't do it easily.
 
I have realized that one of the easiest ways to destroy relationships is to lend money to someone. That's why I don't lend money to anyone. I would rather give out the amount of money I can afford to lose to my friends if they ask that I lend them money. I have had a very big strive with my best friend and lost him as a friend because I lent him money and expecting him to repay and he failed.
