I know right off the bat you fags will say "You should never loan money to friends..." but let's put it into context...about two years ago one of my best friends was having custody issues with his ex over his son....she is a meth junkie, he is a hard working guy that doesn't make tons of money but gets by...I dont make tons of cash either but have always kept a good nest egg for "just in case" situations, I told him I'd give him an open ended loan of $1500 to start the custody battle process, that he could payback over time in any way possible without putting him or his family in a financial bind. (He won in the courts and has full custodyof his son since)...over the two years he managed to pay $300 on it which was fine...those were the terms. This year around tax season and Biden bucks I estimated he raked in around $10,000....he talked about clearing all his debts, to which I said...."Clear up all your bills, and whatever your family needs before closing the debt with me...family first..." Well yesterday I got on Faceberg as I do when I'm hungover and being lazy to see my friend has bought him a nice new motorcycle.....Initially I became pissed, and remain pissed (More offended, or hurt...but pissed!) Thoughts? Am I being a bitch about it?

I give and don't expect return. I end up getting more returns from good friends than the money would ever account. I gave one buddy 40 dollars here and there and when he had he bought me lunch and drinks more than what I ever gave and changed the brakes on my car ( which itself would have payed me back more) to pay me back for his conscience even though I would have given it to him had he asked but he asked for a loan. Just treat people well, don't worry about what they give back just invest in your community and the good faith/habits that are healthy

Absolutely. Give for the sake of giving with no expectation of return and more will come your way. Give and ye shall receive.
