Do you lend money to friends?

[MassHavoc]

I don't have any friends that have ever needed to borrow money and I've never asked any of them to borrow money. The only person I've ever asked for financial assistance from was my Father and he's happy to help, it makes him feel needed. I feel bad doing it cause usually if it's something I have to ask for it's because I"m in need, but over the years since I've tried to pay him back in other ways as much as possible. I think I borrowed a small sum of money from my brother once, and it was bad or anything but I just remember not liking it. When you borrow money from people you tend to work it into every conversation somehow and it gets to be more hassle than it's worth.

Im with you. I don't loan money as the old adage of "if you loan a friend 20 bucks and you never see him again, it was money well spent" has been true too many times.



I assume you have a friend with the predicament?

He was broke till friday and needed food.

Fixed for accuracy...

damn.... you couldn't just give me it this once could you! haha... so true.

This is exactly what I was thinking too. No way in hell that asshole has friends.

Ehhhh, That ain't too bad. Get him some ramen, ground beef, and some hamburger helper, we will make it.

I have borrowed, loaned and given. I never loan what I can't afford to lose. I never borrow what I can't afford to pay back (sometimes it takes longer than other times).

Also, cheap pepper sauce instead of the packet that comes with the ramen if he needs a low sodium diet.

Maybe he could pay people money to be his friends and then he'd also have someone to lend money to as well.

No kidding. During a few lean years I had, I was able to basically do that and really make it stretch. There were some months that I spent less than $50 total for breakfast lunch and dinner with that model. Food was cheeper then, but still.

I never have money to loan. But if I did I would. I think. Not having expectations about getting back a shit tonne of money is pretty wise.



Not to reiterate what's been said before, but I am totally into hand outs. So, if people want to give me monies, I'm all in for taking that sweet cash.



It's all about the Lauriers. That's what we call Benjamins in Canada.



Kidding!

Dude in college I lived off ramen, it was like 10cents a pack and I loved creamy chicken ramen. I still buy it every now and again for snacks.



Although, you really start to crave other food as the lack of nutritional content other than calories is obvious. Pasta and pasta sauce is still damn cheap and is a better overall alternative health wise as you could get a big ass jar of pasta sauce for 2 bucks, and a big ass box of pasta for the same.

No you're not.

I too love handouts, freebies, swag. . .but also just plain filthy lucor! I'm not picky and scruples are overfuckingrated. Heh.

(BTW, how was Samuel's 1st birthday? Good times I suspect!)

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You'd suspect right. We had a great time in Hawaii last week, too.[/font]

 

[MassHavoc]

I want to find time to get back to Hawaii, it's not even that we can't go cause my cousin lives there so it's easy as he always wants family to come visit it's just stringing the days together. I don't get vacation this year as all my days are being saved for the kid.

Luckily, for me, my Father-in-Law is a WWII Pacific theater vet, and he gets a huge discount on rooms at the Hale Koa, so we go to say on Wakiki Beach for 7 nights on the cheap.

 

[MassHavoc]

Yeah, my cousin lives not too far from there we went surfing just about there when we went. My cousin actually lives about 4 blocks from Obama's childhood home I guess, I didn't see it but I thought that was interesting.

The Punahou neighborhood.

 

[MassHavoc]

Sounds about right? I find that place really hilarious because they are so into NFL but don't have a team... .so driving around his neighborhood I'd see all sorts of NFL shit out in everyones yard, but no specific team, browns raiders, bears, ect... I gotta imagine with the quality of talent that has come out of hawaii to the different west coast colleges and then onto the NFL families just latch on to teams where they know the Hawaiian guy that plays for them or something.
