When faced with such situations....I always think what will happen if roles are reversed.
Then I will do what I think the other person will do.

Once I offered a "friend" a job and I asked him how much he thought he should get for the job. He asked me to tell him instead and that I should pay what I would pay myself and to be "fair". I cancelled the project after the conversation.

list though and i known him for 33 years.

Choice is quite straight forward. Either Yes or No.
If No, case close. If Yes, prepare to lose money or lose friendship or lose both.

Problem is, don't have that much. 80k is a lot of money.

What talking you?
Surely depends mah!
If I had $80 million in lose cash then take $80k to help childhood friend no problem mah, no need to return also no problem.
Problem is I am the one who need to borrow even $8K then how to lend childhood friend $80k?

I lend a friend a few thousands a few years ago as he was being harassed by credit card companies. It was not a lot, just money that I saved for a holiday that year. He was at the brink of being terminated by his company as they are very particular about employee unable to manage their own finance.
Since then, i had not heard from him and although he now earns about $80,000 annually. he pretended he doesn't owe me anything. He goes for holiday every year without guilt.
I am angry whenever I think of it.

We were together in primary school for 6 years. Finally met after 30 years. Few days later he SMSed asking to borrow $400, to tide him over till his payday. Never heard from him after that. Friendship lost because of $400.

Are you his this particular friend?
That fucked:oIo: Tonychat izzit, the never-return part sounds like him alright but the $80,000 part highly unlikely to be the fuckard:oIo:

bro...i have lent on a few occasions. Mostly the money never came back. The lesson i learnt is if you are willing to lend then be willing to sign the money
off too :(

I always say no. Not even to relatives. Am I cruel? I've learned this through my pockets many times. Don't you see the trend? All these people who asked for loans are the people who have no contact with you for a very long time who does not treasure the friendship or relationship during normal time only when in need then they think of you. This is the trend just like MLM friends and insurance agent friends out of nowhere they will appear because they need you. So I will not contribute to this, I won't even use the word help.

Youre not cruel joe. It is not our obligation to lend them money but it is their obligation to return what they had borrowed.

If you lend the money for operation or medical reasons to save a life, it's ok.
But if you lend money to fund a business, you are screwing yourself.
