$1. He never paid back

$5000. No sound no pic.

lending money to friend will ended up no more friend.

lend my friend $50 to bet on Morocco to win WC and end of the story.

I made it my policy from young never to lend or borrow money from anyone. 

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

I borrowed from a number of people and paid back with interests before. 

It is not easy to borrow but it reflects on who are your real friends or in another way who have a caring feelings.

Sometimes you are up and the other is down. It is rotational.

Different types of people. Not rich but willing to lend. Sudden rich and willing to lend. Rich will lend but reduce amount. Rich but don’t lend, relationship turns a bit awkward.

Trust is always the weakness of a person.
You can prevent this actually if you have learned I Ching.

6k is alot of $$$ 30 years ago.

20k to my brother in law need to borrow fr my insurance policy as he need money to pay for hdb downpaymt
that was ard asian financial crisis as his business collapsed

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.

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

Spouse was always asked to 'pay first and return you later' by siblings but never once return the money. Altogether few thousand of dollars

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.

Lucky only 50 bucks never return,

so far also lucky my army friends never borrow money from me, perhaps I got mention before , come friends don't talk about money. So maybe they know I will not lend
