Start small and ask if he’d be able to start making monthly payments to you. You’ll be surprised to see that, if he’s a real friend, he’ll increase the asking amount and make sure it’s paid off in a year.
That could work.....Im just too furious at the moment to even speak.....I feel like I'm being jew'd for doing the right thing of freeing a toddler from the clutches of a meth junkie
If that kid is in a better place then look at it as money well spent. You very well might have saved that kids life.
Not sure what to say about your friend other than it is a life lesson. I too have learned the hard way many times with "friends".
Oh, no good deed goes unpunished. That’s a fact.
That's Satan talking. Good deeds are often rewarded -- just not always, and you should never expect it.
If you don’t want to get jew’d, you must begin to think like a jew.
Oh I'm not sure I could do that....too white, and kind
Asking for the money back will destroy your friendship ... but your friendship was already destroyed when the person didn't pay you back the loan. So nothing lost.
In any case, you did a good deed.
You're a good person. I feel I lent you 1500 in one payment I want to be refunded in the exact manner.
This is the best answer. People are all saying "you give money, don't loan it" much of this is probably the christian revival thing "jews do it so it must be bad". It doesn't follow. [Edit- This is like a leftist saying "it's an unplanned donation".]
A gift was not the arrangement you made, it was an interest free loan in a time of crisis. Milky Meat OyVey has the best answer, try to work out a payment plan. $100/month isn't bad, and he can pay it off in a year.
You're not being a bitch, it goes back to the highschool days when you'd lend someone $5 and ask for it back and they'd say "it's only $5 bro"... Yeah, well, if it's only $5, it shouldn't bee too difficult to pay back now should it?
If he doesn't pay you back or gets angry that you're asking for a payment plan then you've found out that he wasn't as good a friend as you thought.
At this point, just make sure that whatever you ask for it's concrete like "$75/month until it' payed off" not "pay me something monthly".
I had a guy tell me to get a job when I asked him to repay me. I've never had the chance to put the screws to him properly. I'm thinking something involving his spine.

oof.... He's lucky if his teeth weren't loosened.
