Walt Longmire Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Why is it you loan your beggar buddies some cash and it always gets paid back in small bills? Never fails. Hand someone 100 dollar bills when they're in need, and when they finally (if ever) pay you back, it's in 5's 10' and 20's. What are you pal? A drug dealer? Rant over. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sign of maturity is having at least one old-time good buddy who owes you a few bucks. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old friend of mine really messed up once and needed his mortgage payment paid. I bailed him: His pay check came in two days after he paid his mortgage. He took me to lunch and paid me back in cash about an hour after he picked up and deposited his pay check. Hell of a fine man. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you'd do the same. Folks like that rarely need to borrow money and hate to when they need to. Many of us were raised to think being in debt was a sign of failure. Some were raised to think the dieing in debt was a sign of outsmarting the devil. It's one of life's mysteries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 "Neither a lender nor a borrower be." ~Ben Franklin. The nice thing is, when people owe you money, they make themselves scarce. Which makes what you lent them, a really good investment. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 "If you lend a friend $5 and never see them again it was probably worth it!" Old saying. If someone asks me to lend them money, I lend them what I expect to never see again. That way no hard feelings and if I do (seldom) get paid back, it's that much better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steinbrenner Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I always say the same thing Do I look like a loan generating officer to you?No?I didn’t think so either, GTFOH After very bad experiences about loaning money I just don’t do it, if is a REAL FRIEND in a real hard situation I’ll just give him the money and if he wants to pay it back is up to him, but I don’t loan money. I’m the kind of person that if you owe me money and I find out you’re going out partying, traveling and flashing money around I start thinking stupid **** and I don’t need that in my life.

Wyzz Kydd Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I don’t lend to friends. I either give to them with no strings, or not. If they’re truly a ‘friend’ there is no ‘not’ if I can swing it. I’ve never done this and not gotten my gift back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I've had three friends that I would loan any amount, for however long needed, no handshake needed. I'd give other friends $20, that's it. Sometimes got it back. The same three were allowed to get into my garage, unannounced, whenever they wanted and take what they needed out of my toolboxes (I had the best tools). And borrow my bikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Bob once came back and the rear window of my '68 Chevelle was busted out. He said he "slammed the door" and skapoosh! I pretty sure it got shot out. He fixed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I got paid back in small bills it would indicate to me that the person was making a concerted effort to gather up enough money to pay me back in full. Maybe they had to put the full amount together bit by bit. I may be mistaken but I would interpret it as a real effort to repay my kindness on their part. If I were paid back in large bills, it would indicate to me that the payback was easy and convenient for that party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
