Have you ever borrowed money from someone before & paid it back?

The other way round for me.. This is a difficult topic. I have loaned a large amount of money to a family member who had fallen on hard times. They have since recovered however made no attempt to resolve. In my mind I have written it off but it has developed an awkward rift in our relationship.. I have had to do the same with an ex business acquaintance..

i rarely ever borrow money but when i do, i pay it back. i rarely ever loan money though...... after you get burned a few times, generosity finds its limit. if they want money, i just point them in the direction of the bank. LOL

Yes. I hate owing anything. I'm sorry that this happened to your friend. My parents told me, if you ever lend money, do it with the thought it's not coming back.

My friend wanted to pay for half of my plane ticket to come and visit her, but I didn’t feel comfortable taking that much money from her. I honestly wasn’t even sure if she was giving it to me or lending it, but regardless I wouldn’t feel comfortable with it. 😂 I feel like stuff like that can often make a friendship go sour.

Yep, I hate owing anything to anyone.

I always pay back on the very rare occasions i even borrow. I never lend though. If i give money to someone, it is under the assumption they aren't going to pay it back. That way when they don't, no big deal. If they do, a pleasant surprise.

You give me $1,000 and we`ll see how it goes from there. 😬

I try not to ask for loans but I did once and I paid it back as soon as I could

When I loan money I don’t really expect anyone to pay it back, but when they do I happily receive it and use it for my kids


I should add I only loan expendable cash that I don’t need in the immediate future I hate chasing people down to pay me

I never borrow money that big, but yes. I always pay the day after.

I’m usually asked to “lend” money, but if it’s a nominal amount and the person is close enough to me, I say that I will give it to them. And, I generally have them pay it forward by taking care of someone else’s needs or charity when they can do so. If I borrow anything and say that I will return it, I make sure that it happens.

Oh wow $1000 is too much!

I remember borrowing money only when I already have the about ready for payback but not in hand. Like when I have credit only but need cash for a payment that does not accept credit cards, and I pay it back as soon as I can because I hate owing anybody anything

Help the needy but ensure the needy is not playing the bluff game. Defaulters have a reputation in the market! No one helps a stranger until the stranger is as good as 'Wolf of Wall Street'.🙂 History has enough evidences that the near and dear ones (not all but some) are more deceiving!🙂

i always pay back money i borrow

Yes, I borrowed money from banks to pay for college, and paid it all back!

😁

When I lease a car I think somewhere in all that paperwork I am borrowing money (why else would they charge interest?). I make all my payments so always pay it back.

Id rather just give people money when they truly need it. I know thats radical these days. Most people wont even ask for help bc of how selfish everyone is so im not gonna hold a loan over somebody's head when theyre already struggling.

No but I've lent people money and never got my money back. I let my cousin borrow like $400 and he never paid me back.

I lent my friend 1000 dollars for his dental. I lived with him and told him he had to pay my part of electric bill till we were even.

When I lend someone money, I generally don’t expect to see it again, that way I’m pleasantly surprised when they do pay me back

I don't even remember borrowing money. Maybe like €5 for if I forgot my wallet.

I rarely borrow money it mostly was when my friend would pay for drinks and I'd pay him back asap either with money or drinks.

More often I'm the one who's hit up by friends who tell me they're going to pay me back but I'm like that's what you said last time.

I have , and then they burned me, by stealing from me. Needless to say, I have not made an attempt to pay them back.

I paid my father back when he helped me to buy a car and I repaid my student loans.

I was about 30 years late paying back 40.00 buck back

Absolutely ! I paid every cent .

No. Never. Refuse to.

I have never borrowed more than a tenner.

My husband lent a friend at uni about £3000 because his friend wasn't able to pay his fees.

The guy gave him a few hundred back but nothing.
I asked my husband if he regretted it and he said he didn't, the guy would have had to drop out. We still get a Christmas card from him every year

Try me, I would like 500 dollars 🤔
