Wrote this on LJ back in June of 2007. That was almost 4 years ago. Care to guess how much I've been paid back by those "friends" I mentioned then? $0.00 How can you go for 5+ years knowing you owe someone, and not made an attempt to pay them what you owe?

Some of those "very same" friends are the reason i am now very careful giving out a job reference. Nothing like putting your name out. Them getting hired then them screwing up. Giving me a bad rap.

Don't let it ruin you totally though. I recently had a very sudden and unexpected bill to the tune of $500. Thanks to Kim Leo & Ellie it was taken care of. With in a month i had $440 paid back and the rest worked off deicing Ellie's driveway.

If you figure it out, let me know. Some people think its owed to them. Too many times Ive lent a hand and got shit on for it

not everyone is like your friends.. *one bad apple* and all that...However, I just forgive the debt. I have friends I know I'll never see a dime from but it doesn't matter. I still love them.

+1. I figured this out a LONG time ago. I do NOT "loan" money to friends if I can't afford to lose it. When I hand it over, as far as I'm concerned, I've already written it off. Every now and then I get some back and am pleasantly surprised, but when I don't I don't lose friends or sleep over it.

If you can't afford to lose it, don't loan it.

ouch. I just don't get how people can go so long...ANY period of time really...without knowing they have a debt and it bothering them....It bugs me when I owe someone $20, much less something in the hundreds.
