@IheartMypuppy No, that has never happened to me before. Most people that I know, personally, know that I don’t have a lot of money, so it would be kind of fruitless for them to ask for any. However, that being said, I have given and loaned money to a couple of different friends who had even less money than I do, and they needed it more. One needed to hire a lawyer to fight an ugly legal battle against an unscrupulous employer, in which I was a witness and had to be subpoenaed. The other one needed money to buy food, as he had lost his job, and subsequently his home.
I never “loan” money with the expectation of getting it back. Luckily, though, I always have gotten it back. I don’t just loan money willy nilly, though, and it was usually my idea, rather than the friends asking me for it.
I don’t have any friends or family members that have ever asked for money.
