Never lend out more money than you can afford to give away because chances are you won’t be getting that coin BACK. If you’re generous and always willing to help a friend or family member in need, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

3. Give Me One More Week. I Get Paid Next Tuesday.
Pay day never actually arrives for this friend… somehow, payday is always exactly one week from today.
4. I Hit Your Line. It Didn’t Go Through?
This friend claims they called or texted you and YOUR phone must be the problem. Of course, now that they are standing right in front of you and could reimburse you right here and right now it’s: “I had it for you that day that I called. I need a couple more days now.”
