I am fed up! I’ve been through this too many times and it seems like all the people who I lent some money to before have this problem.
I need to constantly chase them for the money, become like I owe them instead
I’ve been lending money to friends and family for years, always trying to help out when I can. But what I’ve noticed is that the people I’ve been helping out have started to become complacent and forgetful when it comes to returning the money.
It’s like they take it for granted that I am going to be there for them whenever they need me, but when it comes to them paying me back, they don’t seem to think twice about it. They don’t realize that I could use that money too.
I’m not a bottomless pit of money! It’s not like I can just keep giving out loans and expecting nothing in return.
It’s not just friends and family either. I’ve had some bad experiences with business partners and colleagues as well. I’ve lent money to some of them in order to help them out in a pinch, and they had promised to pay it back on time.
But then they conveniently forget about it, or worse, they don’t even bother to respond to my reminders.
Worst is that the amount of money that I have loaned out and still have not gotten back due to all these people amounts up to 5 figures!
Some of them not only give many excuses, but act blur
It’s like all these people think that it’s perfectly okay to not pay me back on time, or even at all. It’s really starting to get on my nerves and it’s making me really angry.
Some of them can also totally act blur like they forgot that they have borrowed money from me.
I’ve tried to be understanding and patient, but it seems like all my efforts have been in vain.
I understand that life can be tough sometimes and people can struggle financially. But I also think that it’s important for people to be respectful of others and to not take them for granted.
If someone takes a loan from me, then I expect them to pay it back on time. It’s the least they can do to show their appreciation.
At this point, I’m getting so sick and tired of having to chase people for money which I previously lent to them to help them out.
It feels like all these people do not appreciate or have the courtesy to return the money on time.
