What do you do when someone borrows your money and doenst pay you back?

1. kiss money and friend goodbye and consider it a cheap lesson
2. take them to court

Reminded of a scene from Out of Africa...Barkley recalls a conversation with Denis about a book Denis lent to a friend that was never returned. (Books being dear and rare).

Barkley said: You wouldn’t lose a friend over a book!

Denis replies: Of course not. But he did.

Guido and Sal pay them a visit.

It’s not the money (although it is). When a friend asks to borrow money, lending it is a gesture of love. Usually when they borrow they say, I’ll pay you back $50/month or by month after next, all of it. Unless they had an accident and are in a full body cast and are NOT paying you back, either they were lying when they promised to pay or they’ve decided to spend your money on themselves, which was not the agreement. So you can decide if you want to have a friend like that or not. If you decide it’s worth it to you for whatever reasons then just let it go, consider it a gift, and commit to memory some great reasons why you can’t lend to them in future.

I ask nicely a couple of times...

Then I make life 'difficult' for them.

Happened in 2015 she never returned.. I stopped contacting her

Threaten them with physical violence.

I'd regard it as a gift because that's what it was essentially but remember that Shakespearean quote: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" in future.

Aren't you supposed to lock them in the trunk of your car? I don't lend people money.

you've heard of loan shark ? yeah mafia haha

They experience an accident.

I refuse to give them anymore

If I give someone money, I forget about it.
Most of the time people forget about return things.
It's why I prefer not to get into such situations.

Wait -_-

Let it go
