You can prevent this actually if you have learned I Ching.

Mostly after borrowing will cease contact with you. Lucky if can get back some.
Treat it as a donation for good karma.
And tell yourself you cannot bring along eventually.
You may feel better!

One of my children 's friend.
They had to pay a deposit for an apartment.
Needed 6K.
Promised to pay by installment.
They did what they promised
They never forget us for that helping hand.
That place is Pinnacle.
Can imagine the profit.

In my entire life, only one person stole from me after I refused to lend him. During army days, one beng asked to borrow some money. I told him no. Later I went to check my cabinet $50 (which was a lot back then) was missing from my wallet. No evidence so cannot pursue. Later he went AWOL so never mind lah. Besides I going for disruption then
Then young and too trusting… dare to put wallet in drawer within army barracks
Ever since One Malaysian contractor incident I never lend money to anyone. Lucky is 50 bucks.
This contractor say until so pity etc claim need 50 bucks, so I lend him since ok rah 50 bucks not say 500 hundred or even 5k.
Later no sound and MIA never see him. Got one time see his friend I ask him where he go , he claim he already quit.

The morale of the story is don't lend money to anyone, when ask to return the money, they become your enemy..........

For my close to 50 years living on Earth, even close family also cannot take it for granted. Talk monies no family ties to talk about. I see it real wth my parents case with their siblings. Sibling close correct? No leh when monies is the topic.

Where money is concerned, family and friends take a back seat......

When you lend money , you should always expect that the money lent may not be returned.
I have lent a friend $5k years ago when he said he’s in need. On the day he was supposed to return me the money he disappeared. Even went awol from his stable job. Till this day no one knows where he is. MIA.
tomorrow will be a better day
