@chuvaness
oo naman, pwede mag-tagalog… wag lang madalas kasi baka mag-nosebleed ang mga international visitors ko

anyway, i could totally relate to your story. i once had a classmate from HS who went to our house everyday looking for me, but i was not at home because i was at work. come weekend, he was able to talk to me and he was asking for a financial loan because he (insert sad story here).

we were never close in school so it was really odd. i just told him that i don’t lend money to friends but i gave him a little money for the expenses he incurred for coming to our house for the past 3 days.

pwede ba mag tagalog? hehehe

i met up with a HS classmate last week, that was first time we’ve seen each other after many many many years ..and she had the guts to borrow money from me…it’s ok lang sana but the thing is we’re not even close during HS days…

i couldn’t say no….eh pano ba naman she even went all the way to my house just to get the money

nabawasan tuloy ang pang retirement plan ko…lol

@chuva
I have friends who borrow and/or lend out money very often. I wrote this article for them because I’ve already seen minor conflicts arise within the group. I hope that this post will somehow help them change their outlook regarding money and friendships. Thanks for the comment and the visit.

@ms hopeful
I’ll post that article in here as soon as I can. For the meantime, you can read my previous article regarding the Envelope Method for Budget Planning, it will teach you how to do your monthly budget by using the simple envelope. The post also comes with a free MS Excel worksheet that can help you track your expenses. Enjoy!

Hello Fitz - great post (yet again!) I simply made it a rule not to lend money to friends. I have seen so many broken friendship due to monetary disputes. It is true that “true friends” will not hold it against you if you say no. However, it is better that they be disappointed now than the time when you have to leave a friendship due to an unpaid debt. Love your writing skills Fitz!
