When someone owes you money

Then get over it, if he was your "best friend" then you should feel enough love for him not to care about the money, if he doesn't have cent to give back to you then should let it be.

If he was just ripping you off cause he's an ass then thats another thing but if he doesn't have anything then maybe you should cut him some slack? If you ever get in a shitty situation you may one day hope to be able to lean on somebody that actually cares about you.

 

consider it a test of your friendship. If he's a good guy he'll pay you back when he gets on his feet. I know from experience that it can be tough to get a job without a car. I've owed friends several hundred and sometimes it took awhile but i always paid em back. don't lose faith in your friendship. You can't put a price on that. we all go through hard times. maybe try and help him find a job he can get to and then set up a payment plan.

 

Sounds better then finding the guy and beating him up, like the OP described.

 

My friends owe me money....but I don't care. I know that if I need something and don't have cash on me they will pay for it. Money just goes back and forth between me and my friends. In fact I told one of my friends not to worry about paying me back. I think he owed me about $45.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY! i loan nothing. i give it away.

 

At worse, it's a thousand dollar tuition bill in the school of life that teaches you about lending anything.

I never lend... I give things that I'll be able to do without. If they come back great and if they don't, no sweat... and I never give out cash. If someone stops being a friend because I won't lend them money or whatever then I know why they were probably around at all and I need a dependent I can't write off my taxes like I need an exit wound on the back of my head.

 

Yea it would be different if he used the money to get himself back on his feet. But he didn't. He blew it all in two days on blow, clothes, jewelry and other shit for his girlfriend. He doesn't have anything, but his mom provides him everything he needs....so it's not like he's scrapping for food.

 

that's the way things work with my friends and i. for the longest time i was always the one covering the bartabs, etc. now since i've fallen on hard times guess who's got my back financially. my buddy's actually working on getting me a job at his place right now, and thus the cycle begins again
