Dont ya just love getting blown off n ignored??
 

Especially when you helped them out financially and put good amount of money and food on there table???

Some people...will never learn I guess...


/Rant

People dont seem to get it whether it is $1 or $100,000 its not to take and hold peoples $$$ when one of your employees is a dingbat and flat out only qualified to work at a Taco Bell...

Well, now you can save the extra money, so it isn't all that bad.

will they never learn or will you never learn?

good point.. I guess at some point it is not worth the hassle and just simple to cut ties . I am partially to blame for putting up with it

I could buy a car with the amount money I given to people that then went on their way and never handed it back.

whats worse is when shit like this happens with family ;/

True ... my immediate family like brothers and dad we all look out for each other financially but as far as cousins and distant family It only leads to trouble

yeah, that is an all too familiar tale for sure. If I ever am asked I just tell them i'm giving it to them or investing in them.. that way I'm not disappointed or let down if it never comes back and they don't feel the need to avoid me...not overly affective but it's a lot better than hounding people for money though.

Juicy you are the most generous guy on this board I think out of all these rich clowns.
Don't ever change, ok?

The title of this thread begged for zero replies.

I learn something new everyday.

Haha yes I think he is the generous type.

Quick reminder: "there are no such thing as friendship around here".

I agree, never lend $ to non-close relatives

After getting burned several times I now get post-dated installment checks up front. While it's no guarantee, you have something tangible to show there was an agreement of sorts as opposed to a he-said-she-said verbal agreement.

If they disappear/start ducking your calls you can still deposit the checks. If they bounce for insufficient funds or stopped payment you still have proof of not getting paid if it comes to that, plus they will still take a financial hit for the inconvenience they are causing you.

I think a lot of people pretend to be in the industry but have secretly dropped out.

Getting someone to respond is difficult at this point.

no good deed goes unpunished... deal with models for a bit :2 cents:

Its a cheap lesson to learn!

Never lend out more than you feel okay about not getting back again. It will show if they are true friends or not when its payback time, even if they can't pay they would stay on top of it.
If they are not at least you know what you can expect from them and decide if you wanna waste your time with them or not
