Same here.
That is why I always pay extra on any money I had borrowed in the past. Same for those who want a short term investment. I'll pay them the premium, just so every one is 'even' at the end of the term.

Yep. I am owed, somewhere between $3-5k myself. This particular friend holds biggest one chunk. Others are a gf, sister, a few acquaintances.
It really sucks how money changes people. You DO want to help your friends, and if you are in a position that you can. You just wanna be able to help, and trust them. Basically applying those same rules I use. Paying back on time, and whatever.
One of my other friends from 20+ and myself are the only two people could borrow from. He was that guy back in school who you would sell your old baseball cards to, and get a $50 or 100.00 back in the day. So in our circle, either he, or I, or both, get asked for money.
I am starting to believe that, you are a better friend, by not loaning money to them. Regardless of need. Then you are saving them from themselves, and you still have the friendship. Especially for those that are long term.
