Just count to 10 and get over it. I can assure you if you lend him the money, it will be last time you'll be talking to him. |

If you can't give it away, don't loan it. |

Don't do it.
Loans between friends are never a good idea unless you want to consider it a gift and not expect repayment. |

Do Not loan him money. Not a good idea for your relationship in or out of work. You have already stated you don't have it to spare, and even if you did still not a good idea. As an adult with a job he needs to figure out on his own how to work on his finances. |

Heres the problem....youre not a bank, he should go to a bank or financial institution....if they wont lend him the money, why in the world would you do it. And if he cant borrow it from anyone professional, he should go to his family, they know him best.
Ask yourelf the other question, what would he do if he didnt know you. He would have to do something. Its not a mean way of thinking...its real wisdom and when youre older youll totally understand...thanks for the question and good luck! |

Don't do it. Just don't do it! Loaning money to friends/family/co-workers is ALWAYS a bad idea. |

Maybe you could research a few ways that could help him out of finance trouble. This way you don't get screwed out of the money you loan but you feel good for helping. |

NO! Don't loan no money to a co-worker. Unless maybe a dollar now and then to buy a drink. |

If he's the one that made you aware of his financial troubles and is hinting at a loan - run!
If you found out about it some other way and he isn't the one askng, then he probably won't take the money from you.
No man (that is worth anything anyway) is going to ask a female co-worker for a loan. That's crazy.. and it's completely unacceptable. |

Loaning money to friends hardly ever work out. If I take a decision to loan money in such a circumstance, I make sure it is money that would not desparately hurt me not to get back. |

did he ask? if he didn't don't say anything. many people take it as a personal insult when people offer money to them! so unless he asked, do not bring it up.
and it's really up to you if he asked and you want to loan. i probably would if i was able because it's a nice thing to do but i wouldn't make a habit out of it because people can take advantage of your generosity. best wishes |

Only make the loan if you don't care if you get it back. I lent a total of $500 to a "friend" of mine from work and the last time I heard from him was when I gave him the last $100.
I don't think I ever got any re-payment in spite of many promises. The last time I lent him money I told him I could not really afford to do it, but I knew he had no one else to ask for help.
Shame on me for thinking of him as a friend and going against my better judgment, but I am too soft hearted.
Let him figure his way out of his own mess. |

Bad idea, people end up taking them to court because they never pay them back(Judge Judy)! |
