  • Worth noting: due to either mismanagement, or addition of step kids, he is in a serious budget crunch in the field of $400.
  • How is he going to get out of this “budget crunch” to pay you back?

A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

It’s not that I don’t ever trust either of the parties involved (I typically do), but anytime you mix business with pleasure it has the chance of running amok. Fellow reader Bob recently got hit up by a friend in require and he’s asking for a little guidance: “A coworker/friend called me tonight in a rough spot so to say.

I initially agreed and told him to call me tomorrow, but as time progressed I kept thinking of all the horror stories of loaning money… Is it inappropriate to ask for a collateral item, a signed document with both signatures, or do half now and half in 15 days? You just consistently hear stories of getting burned.” Here was my response (via iPhone, so it’s kinda short): Oh yeah man, whatever u do DEF get it in writing so everyone’s on the same page and understands the situation :) As you mentioned, the reason your friend is in trouble is  something to remember.

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

More importantly, typically it’s best to consider all money loaned to friends a “gift” just in case (worst situation, right?) cuz family and friends come first over money. And there’s nothing wrong with saying no too!

Just be honest with everything and be sure you’re happy with whatever decision :) And keep each last bit of it in writing. Re-reading this I now see that his friend is also a co-worker which adds another incredibly large element to the pot.

How Budgets Sexy Really Works

Remember that i don’t think I’d have the heart/balls to loan out $400 for X amount of months in this case, BUT I would certainly consider some sort of other arrangement.  Perhaps a $200 revolving line of credit? I loan you $200 and if you pay it back at the end of the month, I’ll re-loan it out to you again? (Or maybe even begin with $400 if you have the cash?) That would at least assist him out for a month and hopefully establish some solid rapport to gauge what you’re workin’ with.

It’s kinda hard to advise on limited information, but with all that we’ve got so far what would YOU suggest?  Any other concepts to assist our solid brother out? (Visited 12 times, 1 visits right now) Get blog posts automatically emailed to you!
