SHOULD YOU LEND TO A FRIEND?

It all depends on the situation/item/duration/permission/person. Most of the times, we will ask our friend who is borrowing something these few questions. Why do you need it? Which one do you want? ( If you have two or more of it) How long are do you intend to borrow it? Sometimes we would tell the person "I need to ask my parent first." Of course, before lending it to a friend, you would ask yourself whether the person is trustworthy enough? Would he/she return it in time before you need it? Likewise, if he/she who you are lending to you is close to you and you know him/her very well this questions don't really matter to you.
( Point of information: there are a few factors you come across while upon deciding to lend or not)

We should always lend a helping hand to someone who truly needs it for right motives and purposes. Though sometimes we might feel a little poorer or as if your lifestyle has changed when you lend it to someone however do always bear in mind that the person lifestyle is much better now that you have lent it to him/her! Cheer up dull boy, it's only for awhile. However, there are cons to, if you lend it, would there be a negative impact towards you? I truely believe that you should never lend out more than you can afford to lose.
(Point of information: Pros and cons of lending )

Many of us are old and matured enough to know what is right and wrong. By lending, you are trusting that person to return, take care and use it well. Misusing, not returning and damaging is a big No-No.

In my opinion, we should lend and feel proud and contented that we have helped a friend :) And if we really can't lend due to some reasons then just let your friend know, and also as the friend who is lending, we should understand and accept it.
