**My bad yall...just coming from voting again in this damn state.

Do you loan broke people money? Any amount of money?








A friend of a friend recently lost her job, (over the dumbest reason...she never told me why, but our mutual friend did..smdh) so she's going through broke shock right now. She's now amazed at the prices she's been paying for cable for years, freaked out that she has to watch what she buys from the grocery store and is shocked that her bank account could only cover about 10% of her last rent check. (She has a man, but it's one of those situations, you know...)

Anyway, she calls me last week asking if she could borrow some money. The silence on the phone between her asking and myself answering must have been eons. Then she began to tell me all about her rent situation...yada, yada, yada.

"If only someone could let me borrow $600 until SATURDAY when [my man] gets paid."

Yeah, I'm like...if only.

So she keeps hinting her ass off like I'm really gonna make it happen.

So I told her I could only spare (willing to part) a c-note. She kept mentioning SATURDAY, but accepted the money and promised to pay me back the following Monday (yesterday).

I got calls all day Monday from her. I have noticed that she is not the type to duck and hide when she owes money, she's the type to NOT have your money when she says she does, but will constantly keep you updated with a play-by-play of why the money isn't on time. Yesterday's reasoning: she is waiting for her dad to send her some money, but he isn't answering his phone...


I'm not worried about her not paying the money back, I know she will, but is it a good practice to loan chronically broke people money?
