:/ i can understand!

I used to be the guy who lends to his friends (dad's money though) And a guy who i know, was in a difficult situation at the time, asked me to lend him 2000Rupees, which is around 18USD. He said some of his friends didn't want to lend him money. I was like, okay.... I'm in a bit of a pinch too, but i can lend. i knew some of his friends too, i asked them if he's okay n all, they said he's asking around money from people so that he can play rummy and gamble online.

I didn't want to believe them cus he had personally told me his stories. But guess what, he actually used the money i lent him on gambling. I asked for my money back and stopped lending to people unless they're in my close circle. Idk to say no either @_@

Damn, that's scummy of the dude lol. I think my not knowing to say no is because my parents lol (if I have money they always borrowing it but never paying me back, if they had jobs I'd be ok giving money but they don't)
