Sorry, I don't have any. And this is most often the truth...
Depends on how much. If it's $20 or less I might loan it out to someone but my mom always told me never to loan out money because it's hard to get people to pay it back.
My mom told my brother and I: “Don't lend money unless you're prepared to lose it.” Well, I don't have money that I can afford to lose.
depends on the person and reason, but I would most likely tell them to get lost.
Do you have a limit on how much money you would give them?
I do not have any money anyway to give Xd. - Yeah, just lown be money to lown you XD
Probably not. I think people that I'm close to are pretty conscientious so if they're coming to me for money then they must really need it. For instance, my Dad needed money to cover rent because he had to pay a down payment when he switched apartments and he gets a set amount of social security money per month. He was short like $500. I gave it to him not expecting it back but he did return it as soon as he was able.
I don't mind letting family bother money and I don't require it to be paid back....
lol that's my go to answer as well. I was taught as a child to never ask to borrow money or to spend money that I don't have. This being examples: (credit cards, loans that I can't pay back, over drafting, etc)
We've given money before & it puts a strain on your relationship when they don't pay it back. So now, we are careful as to who we help out. & we don't expect it back.
As others have mentioned, it depends a lot on who asks and why they want it. If it's a small amount, like £10 or £20, I would be happy to lend it to someone. A bit more and the likely answer from me will be no unless it's very close family members (parents, sister).
I can't get a credit card. Bad credit. lol
lol
Depending on my financial situation I would probably ask them how much they needed. If it's a small amount, I would more than likely let them "borrow" it, even though I would probably never get it back. However, if it's a larger amount, they're going to be told no, go get a job.
