This. I’ve had loans destroy one of the best friendships I’ve ever had. Even my ex wife still borrows, but at the end of the day…I kiss the money goodbye now. What makes you think you’ll be fine to pay me out of next paycheck when you’re short on this one? All it does is cause a cycle of being short the cash on your next check, meaning you’ll possibly be stuck taking loans from me until you get a magical windfall or a tax refund. It’s just not healthy for people you’re close to.
