Never mix friendship and finances. You run the risk of loosing both in a single transaction.
If she has real estate or other attachable assest that are worth more than the money, then I might make an exception. |

no... money oftenly ruins friendships, especially at 45,000. |

Nope, not unless I wanted to get rid of the money and my friend forever. |

I would tell her to go to a bank. She can't get a loan? Well too bad. Money has ruined more friendships than anything else. Don't think for a second that it might not happen to yours. |
|
bin there dun that
|
NO. NO. NO.
If she can pay it back in three years, she can also go to a bank, or to a small business loans place. If she can't pay it back, you are stuck. |

well first of all if i did have $45,000 i wouldn't let anyone know about it so that they wouldn't ask me to borrow any of it. so tell her or him no way! if they need that much money then they should take out a bank loan. money ruins friendships. bb, nobrethequeen |

I would say no.
Never borrow/lend money to a friend. You'll lose both in the end. |

If i had 45,000 I sure wouldn't borrow it to someone.
don't do it. I've lost friends over alot less than that. |

If you have it to GIVE away, then by all means do it. This way if something happens and she can't or won't give it back it won't be as bad. But if you will definitely be counting on getting it back....fa-gitaboutit! (my theory on lending!) |

Do you have $45,000 to lend?
Are you willing to loose $45,000 and the friend if they don't pay it back?
If the answer to either of these is NO, then you should just say that you do not have that money to lend right now. Also, do not get talked into Co-Signing a loan if she asks. |

I dunno, that's a lot of money. How responsible is your friend? What is the money for? Has your friend paid you back on loans before? Is she responsible with money? If you decide to do this, you must get the loan in writing, you must get her to sign a promissory note and sign it in front of a notary public, get it notarized. That's a lot of money. You must think on this carefully before you decide. |

depends on wat it wazfor like emergencies lke oprerations or medical bills. besides, if a best frnd asked for money nd u know they really needed it, then i wud give it 2 them. |

Forget it. Unless we are talking Italian Lire here. I have twice lent 'friends' substantial sums of money, and I have never seen a penny of it back, not more of them. If they want to borrow money they can go to the bank. Work and play don't mix. |

Dont do it. Have you got 45,000. And 45,000 of what? |

I think you need to go with what you think. I mean your the one who knows your friend. Do you trust that the money is going towards something useful. Are you sure you would get the money back. Could you do without that money for more than 3 years? |
|
ricardo
|
Personally, I would say no. But that's just because I don't have it. If you have ALOT of extra money, and you trust them alot, then go for it! |

My best friend done just that. Not the 45K but 15K and we still made up the paper work which was signed by all notarized all legal. And his wife and him still missed payments but it was paid in full first of '07.
My suggestion to you is make your friend understand that you love em and you know you be paid back but its going to be a legal loan with interest even if it is 0% write it up and say thats the only way your going to do it . Your friends but this is money.
Also if you need help with the paper work or notarization let me know .
Good luck |

Depends on wether you have that much money to spare. And how much of a friend is asking.You have to carefully weigh the case. You may loose both your friend and money if you make the wrong judgement. |

What do you mean ask you to borrow ?? Any way I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show or do to any fellow creature.let me, not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. GET THE POINT !!! |

Since I don't have 45,000 to let someone borrow I would say no... but even if I did have the money I would still probably say no. |

45,000 is a lot of money. fisrt consider: can you afford that amount? if so, is your b-friend reliable enough to pay that sum back?
besudes that what if you end up in financial difficulties? what would you do than?
if that was my best friend, i would not give the money because that's what the banks are there for. sorry its TOO MUCH MONEY to play with. |

No. You can start a business for less out of your home. If it's such a sure-fire idea, get a bank loan. |

No. Things happen, and sometimes you don't get paid back under the best of circumstances. You might as well make it a gift if you do lend it to her, because she could become mad at you over nothing and all of a sudden you aren't friends any longer. It is hard enough lending family members money and expect to be paid back. It is better to not let anyone know how much money you have because of others wanting to "borrow" it. |

It is not help you need, it is a new set of brains. Do you not know yet that lending money to a friend is the surest way to lose both the money and the friend.
Just say "Sorry (Jane, or whatever), I do not have the ready money, but even if I had it, I value our friendship too much to lend it to you. It is the surest way to lose a friend. Then directly change the subject. |
