RE: The monetary boundaries of friendship?
My rule is never lend money to family, if you are in a position to help, than just give it to them. If the money comes back then that's fine. But if it doesn't, you aren't left feeling used. Always give freely with no expectation of return and all will be good. That being said, don't give money you don't have. Your just digging a hole for yourself.
As for expecting money in return for small favours and such, i also refuse. It's nice to be able to help others for no reward, that feeling of goodness inside is payment enough!
Yes! Me too, family and friends. Perfectly worded @mumofmany. Thank you for starting the conversation @tarazkp.
I have dug too many holes :)
Yes, that was a lesson I learned the hard way.
A very healthy perspective - to avoid issue in the future. (from my own experiences)
