My 2 cents wrote:My friend has approached me for a loan knowing fully well that I have the funds. How do I proceed? Do I risk our friendship by loaning/not loaning the money? From experience I know he is not fiscally disciplined.
I would tell a fib here.....If you dont lend him money, he might be pissed for a week or two thereafter ur back to normal. If you do however, you will lose ur friendship for good as he will avoid you or there maybe tiffs over payment issues...
so i wouldnt lend him money
