On certain occasions, we get to see some friends who come to request for money from us with the purpose of repaying whenever they have, but in most cases they do not repay the money. Things like this have caused a lot of problem between people who have been friends for a very long time and it has led to many people saying they rather dash out money to a Friend than to give out as loan or anything related, this is because they are trying to avoid issues that may come up in the future.
I also share that belief, I do not give out money to friends with the hope of getting it back, though it is not always that I give, but when I do, I try to ensure it is not related to lending out (more of helping). This gives me peace of mind, unlike lending out money and the person ends up not paying.
