Reply #14: anyone struggling financially cannot afford to lend 5 figures worth of money [View All]

[CreekDog]

listen to your own words.

anyone who would jeapardize their marriage by lending money cannot afford to lend that money.

the money you would lend is probably your emergency money --that is not money to lend out, it is to cover your expenses when trouble arises. after all, you aren't going to be able to borrow a similar amount from them are you?

finally, anyone who needs a 5 figure personal loan is not in a position to pay it back, certainly not in any short term way and most middle class folks aren't in a position to be without that amount of savings in the long term.

and i agree with the sentiment that one shouldn't put a friend in a position by asking them for such a large sum of money.
