A friend asked me to loan her $150

sure you can, but if you feel like you can't trust your friend over $150, just don't loan her the money. trust me. she may be mad, but it'll probably be better for your friendship. i have a personal rule now. no more loaning money to friends.
 
Sure, but you're still looking at small claims court if she doesn't pay..and I'd have my doubts on the validity of said contract..
 
Money and friends rarely mix well. If you can afford to lose that money, in the worst case, then sure you can help her. Otherwise I'd suggest you decline.
 
If you have even the slightest thought of her not going to pay back, then don't bother lending her the money.
 
Do you care about losing $150? If not, go ahead and do it and take the risk. Otherwise, it's better to avoid it all together.

Money Loaned= you're an idiot!

 
If you can afford to lose $150, lend it to her. If you can't afford to lose $150, don't lend it to her. There's no point in bringing ink and paper into this.

Why didn't she ask her parents or a relative to loan the money to her? Why is she going to you for the money in the first place? That would send up a red flag to me.

By the way, has she said what she needs the money for? If she's in any way sketchy or vauge about it then don't lend her the money, period.
 
I don't lend friends money, I give them money and I only do it if I can afford it. If they give it back to me then so be it... but lending money will cause problems... even if you have no hard feelings toward them for not paying back on time or not at all, they will always feel like shit -- even if they don't have to.

I decided this after I made a 300 car payment for my sister and she never paid me back.
 
Is she hot?

Is there any way you can work out a trade for 'services'?
 
I actually helped my friend buy his head for his amp. It was 300$ and he only had 100$ at the moment. I'm not in his band by any means, but I am somewhat a part of it, and he has been my friend for 10+ years so I knew he was good to pay me back.

Personal rule, if you are 100% sure you can trust said friend, loan them the money.

Oh, and he paid me back in full the following months.
 
I would look at it as a gift and if she pays it back fine, but don't count on getting it back.
Is she a close friend and what is the money needed for?
I have done this myself and sometime i get it back and sometimes i don't

I hope you guys aren't financially independent otherwise that's horrible money management on your friend's part
 
"If you don't pay me back, you will owe me _____ instead."

And I don't mean sex, bukkake, anal, fallacio, etc.
