The last 5 times i lent money to friends, i never saw my money back. Am i a fucking alien for making it a priority to repay my friends in the very rare instances when i borrowed money from them? Every time i borrow any amount of money from a friend, i make it an absolute priority to #1 making sure i save up the money fast to repay them, and #2 going out of my way to make sure im able to reach them fast, usually me going to see them, not the other around. They're my friends and they helped me, so i wanna look good in front of them and i wanna preserve my friendships.
Now when i lend money to friends its a totally different ball game. I lent money 5 times ( that i could remember, probably more in reality). 2 of which were material amounts, 1000 and 450. The 1000 happened 15 years ago, and i only got repaid 500. Which pretty much killed the friendship..not that i necessarily wanted to..he just avoided me after that...
and the last one, 450 which I lent 2 months ago. and still havent seen a dime back. and i lent 3 more times....40 ...20....20.....small bullshit amounts which i have never seen a dime back but its still annoying, after a while , i stopped trying to get those small amounts back....all these amounts except one were from pretty good friends...
Why do i never get reminded by borrowers "hey by the way, the money you lent me, well here it is"
Why do i always have to remind them that they owe me something?
Why are people always almost ready to give my money back but not today?
Why are they always making excuses for delaying and never delivering?
Why do i always have to run after my money?
Why do people who borrow from me always tend to disappear swiftly in the weeks after borrowing?
I dont really lend to broke asses....all these guys have jobs, but im wondering, how the fuck do they manage their fucking money?
That 450 was supposed to be repaid 6 weeks ago but then, unexpectedly (yah right) excuses came up....i was already super reluctant to lend that money away. first i said no, i cant. then i called him back because i felt bad for not helping and because hes a good friend. Now i dont know if im ever going to see a dime back. That 450 was probably the last time i lend money to a "friend" because im fucking tired of this bullshit.
i will look like a fucking douchebag sometimes for not helping out , but fuck you. im tired of this shit.
