@My 2 Cents,
If you really want to help your buddy - thats if (s)he in problem, get him to sign a promissory note indicating duration and failure to pay at a given time would attract interest and legal thereon and have witnesses sign.
otherwise just donate the money!
i too

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

Thanks for all the replies. I have decided to preserve the friendship and is therefore NOT lending the money.

Lend to a 'friend'? Whatever happened to giving?

Oh i know..... your definition of friend is the issue.

I think @my2cents already had the answer...he just needed a little push from his little fraternity here. But I agree. DO NOT LEND.
