I don't wana come across like a tight git here, but I have a friend who owes me 6k so far, I've had to bail him out many times and pay his rent and patch him up with 500 here and there.....now I don't mind helping but i also tried to give him advice abt how to get out of that mess...move out from that expensive area, sell your Rolex's (he has two) give back the Z4.....he's done none of if....and was gona pay me back 1000 every two months this year to get even. So far 750 in 5 months
Have you guys any advice on best way to approach this without ruining the friendship, I don't need the cash, but the principle behind it is that he pays me back for putting my wallet out there when no one would and saving his ass.
i had a friend who did something stupid and owed a large sum of money to people you dont want to owe money to.
he had 24 hours to come up w 48k. i was at the meet. it wasnt pretty.
i sold a harley i had 38k into for a fractional amount to cover what he was short.
he didnt pay me back for 2 years. finally i said, yo its time.
he paid me back and never spoke to me again.
i was the bad guy, can you believe that?
fuck him, and fuck friends like him.
they'll take and take and take, and you'll bail them out and bail them out and bail them out, but when it comes time to come correct, you'll always be the asshole.
so, best case scenario, be prepared to be the asshole who gets paid back and loses a 'friend'. and honestly brother, after this cut your losses that friendship. your not a friend, your an ATM and a get out of jail free/ support network for his fuck ups.
