depends on how much and if they pay it back |

I was always told... "Don't lend what you can't afford to lose"
Works for pretty much everyone. |

its not the loaning that ruins the friendship. its them not paying you back.... proceed with caution. |

maybe just tell your friends get a Job and you get on to so you can help them |

Zero, zip, nada, zilch. If they need money, consider it a gift. If they insist on paying it back, accept graciously. Loaning money to a friend (I'm not talking about a coin or two) is the quickest way to ruin a friendship. |

'Charliet 1' has it sorted in a nut shell. 100% correct. |

if they don't pay you back, it certainly will. depends on the situation. are they finding themselves a little short at the end of a 5-week pay month and just need a fiver to put in their electricity meter until payday, paying you back (possibly in pints of ale) when the cheque comes in? fine, thats what mates are for, in one sense, and they should be happy to help you out if you're on the other side of the coin.
are they continually cadging money off you and being a leech, or need a large (say £25 up) amount of cash because of gambling or family problems, with no clear idea of when or whether you'll get it back? that will certainly taint things. |

No, plain and simple. If you loan them even a small amount and they don't repay you, you can ruin a long standing friendship. I asked this question recently and if I hadn't I be out of pocket and a friend down. This is only my opinion your friend of course could be the exception to the rule. |

If they are your friends then you shouldnt have problems with them paying you the money back. end of! |

No - unless you trust them 1000% - if they dont pay you back - they've destroyed your trust in them |

Yes but be careful. It can cause complications! If you need to pay your friend back do it as quick as possible just like with any loan. I try to avoid loans and things involving money in my friendships. |
