When you come up on some money all of a sudden family & friends need $500 or more; they gonna pay you back, but won't pay Chase:mjlol:
I know when you go pro family calls. I believe it but at the same time show some respect. :stopitslime:

Oh yeah my Coli pro athlete's. Did family start blowing your house up? :ohhh:

I remember my brother was moving in to his first apartment and needed some money to move in. I was hustling at the time so I gave it to him. This hoe boy thought it was a gift and I gave it to him (my mom asked me to help). When I say I had to go through a bunch of mess just to get it back (he only gave me half back) I told myself, if I give someone anything, I better be comfortable not getting it back. I said all of that to say, if it is over 50 and we not tight tight (I’m not tight with my brother, never have), don’t expect it from me

Questions to ask yourself
  • Are you willing to lose the money completely
  • Are you willing to lose the friend
  • Do you have faith that the friend is only asking you because they are in material need and trust you
  • Are you willing to wait indefinitely to be paid back
  • Will giving this money impede you in any way shape or form
If the answer to the any of the above is no, then do not give (don't even consider it a loan) them money

Questions to ask them
  • What's going on
  • How long will you need it
  • What will change between now and then
  • Will you need any more between now and then / will this cover everything
  • Will you need more, going forward
If they act funny on any of the above, do not give them money

If they're solid, and you trust their answers and then, and you are willing to personally consider it a gift, then you might consider it based on brotherhood.



The potential lender shouldn't have to ask those question. If the individual who wants to borrow doesn't proactively address those questions...it's an automatic NO
