What I have learned

Submitted by 1stopmom on February 26, 2008 - 14:09.

I have learned to only "give" money if I do not need and do not expect it back. I refuse to "loan" anyone any amount over $20. I agree with one of the other comments that said if it makes you uncomfortable do not lend the money. I am against lending large amounts of money that is earmarked for something else. I also do not like to borrow money from family or friends. In the last 10 years I have borrowed only from my in laws and paid them back immediately. I do not feel comfortable borrowing money. It definitely can ruin relationships.
