Yes as long as it is needed , I know that sometimes life can be hard and sometimes you need someone to turn to for help, and sometimes you may not get money back but at least you helped when needed, what if that friend goes with out heat or a meal because some radio said do not loan money out ,because you wont get it back, please if it is loan for a car or something trivial as that then maybe a contract should be drawn up, but as far as help for bills and things yes loan it if you have it to spare! You may not know it but you may have just helped in ways you could not fathom. You may not get paid back, but it will come back later in life to you somehow. |

No. I believe that you shouldn't mix business and pleasure. It creates "bad blood" when they don't pay you back, or either they think that they don't have to pay you back because you are their "friend." |

Depend on individual. Certain friends really need money for emergency, so why not. However, you have to know the reason why he/she is borrowing money from you. |

only if you pay them back. When you pay them back they will trust you a little more and when you dont, they wont believe you next time you want to borrow money and say. "Ill pay you back". then they dont give money to you. also its the rigt thing to do if you borrow money.
I borrow money all the time. |

I have, but it's like cosigning a note.
Be prepared to lose it. I would not have ,without realizing that possibility. |

If you trust them, find out about those people first if they are dependable, cause some people owe ton of money to lots of other people and giving it back to them is last thing on their mind |

it depends on how badly they need it and what they want to use it for. |

Threatening to break someone's legs always gets you paid back. If not, take it out in 'trade'. Did you ever see the movie "Indecent Proposal"? |

It's not a good idea. Friends and family tend to take advantage of you. (But I'd probably be fool enough to lend it to them anyway if they really needed it). |
|

not unless the friend is really going to pay back the money or willing to end a friendship if you never pay it back |
|

If you loan money to family and friends, you should keep in the back of your mind you may not get it back.
Would that be worth breaking up with them?
If yes, loan them the money.
If no, do not loan them the money. |

You should. But start small. If they want $1000, even if you have it, say no. But $10, ok, make sure you are clear that it is a loan and you expect repayment by (such and such date). If they repay you, then maybe it's ok to go slightly higher. If not, you learned a lesson. |

i probably would if it was a relatively small amount. but it can cause problems especially when you have to make the friend pay you back. it can definately end friendships so be careful |
|

I would a very small amount to some and a larger amount to others depending on how responsible they are. |

I have a rule about lending money: If a friend or family member needs money and I have it to give, then it's a gift, not a loan. If I'm unable to spare what they need without getting back, then I say "I really like to help you, but I'm short myself this month" |

..I would, and I have. If it is a real friend, it should be no problem. and always use the rule, if you aren't sure, don't.

no i won't. when you lend others money you should prepare youself that the person won't give back the money.
and it hurt the family relationship when talking about money in family. |
|

do you mean lend money to friends? if so, it depends on the friend and how much you trust them. In general, I would try not to as it can cause problems in your relationship if they don't pay you back as planned. |

Yes, I will lend money to family and friends ONLY if the following conditions are met:
1) I have the money to spare.
2) The other person needs it more than i do.
3) I am prepared to forget the whole thing. |
