He didn’t pay me back so I went take his badass golf cart.

No, but I’ve held collateral and issued predatory interest rates.

Reread out loud to yourself what you posted (and I quoted).

If its more than 1k, I want to hear a plan.
If they are going to use the money just to delay the inevitable, then no, you aren't getting anything.
If you have a credible plan in place to improve your situation, we'll talk.
My niece, while going through a divorce asked for a few thousand dollars. She just wanted some money to maintain her lifestyle for a while but claimed it was for something else. I told her "this works if everyone has something to lose, since you're getting divorced you won't need your engagement ring and Ill hold it for collateral.
She didn't need the money all the sudden

Nope. Like others said if you can afford it.

I loaned a friend $5,000 dollars in 1978. My house now sits on the 5 acres of land that he owned.

I turned down a friend that was in prison for stealing copper wire and some other odd shite.
It was to help his girlfriend pay her cable bill and cigarettes- his words.
He wrote me a pretty nasty letter. I read it and threw it in a drawer.
We were talking while he was in prison and then he got pissy when money came up.
We went to college together and for awhile worked together.
I was totally shocked over his arrest and conviction

Good idea

Nope, never.
Ill always say "yes" , not that it has happened very much. I usually volunteer before they ask.

lost one of the better friends I’ve ever had over this. He asked once, I gave it and he paid me back. He asked again, I told him ok but that this was dangerous and if he didn’t pay me back I would have to step aside. He didn’t and I did.

Yeah, when I was younger and single. Rarely did I ever see anything back.

Someone wanted to borrow my cd player (1984) and I said no.

Co worker a couple times. Always a firm no. Especially the one who was smoking cigarettes asking money for diapers. One time I bought a new guy lunch because he had no money, he quit 2 days later.

My wife saw one of my old friends in Wal Mart and got his number. I've seen him 2-3x in last 20 years around. He's pretty much always been a deadbeat. He's 50 and waiting tables at Denny's. He's been married and divorced 3 or 4x. He had 2 GFs have abortions in HS. Not someone I'd want to hang out with.
We talked once and agreed to meet and catch up. A couple weeks later he texted me asking for $ to pay his electric bill. I avoided him for a week or so and felt guilty. I texted him a week later and told him I could help and he told me nevermind that he'd taken care of it.
We haven't spoken since. No way I would give him 5k but a 200 gift was worth it.

Yep, told him I’ve give him what he needed as long as I could bang his wife.
