Never deal in money with family and friends. Shit never works out for the good.

I bet he just wants to talk like nothing ever happened. Probably figures you have given up on the $500.

Loaned my brother 5k no questions asked and would loan him double that if I had it. He got in a bad place in his life and marriage and I was happy I could be there for him. He's paid me back 3k to date and I know I'll see the other 2k. Hard working mother fukker his whole life.

My sister however, whole other story. Anything you loaned her was going down a black hole never to be seen again. She wore that welcome out pretty damn quick.

We (wife and I) bailed my brother and his wife out of some really shady student loan debt. Primarily because when the wife had it, she had one of her family members co-sign the loan and then always made the agreed payments on for years without any issues. Family member dies and the bank contacts her with this 'gotcha!' bullshit about how the co-signer is dead and we are now making your interest rates 32%.

Went over everything with my brother (one of a few people I trust with my life) and we paid the loans in full with a big fuck you to the bank who literally didn't want to accept the money.

Have had them paying me every month, on the 1st, like clockwork. When everything is said and done, when you factored in the interest rate and terms, the bank would have made 60k in loans cost over 300k.

Same here with my brother.

And, fuck the banks.
 
Ok..now we're cooking.

Me - Sounds great! Haven't heard from you in a long time. What prompted this?

Him - I found the right women this time.

Me - Thats cool. But what prompted you to get in touch with me after all this time?

Him - Oh, I've been thinking about you guys and how you were doing.

Me - You know, come to think of it, I had a few things that I'm reminded about you with too.

Him - Yeah, really? We need to catch up!

Me - Yeah, like you know, stuff like wheres my fucking money that I gave you and you never paid back?
 
But wait...theres more!

Him - Oh for sure. I need to know how I can send it to you. Cash app, PayPal, Venmo, what?

Him - Its been a few tough years but I can send it to you right away

Me - I get that its been tough; remember, I'm one of the only people that help you, yet this is the shit you pull? Disappearing with my money and then reapperaing years later because you're getting married is somehow ok to you? Listen, dealing with your shit simply wasn't worth $500 and I let it go, but the shit you pulled has always bothered me. Way to fuck yourself but then again, poor people doing poor people shit, right?

Him - Im sorry and Ive always had it in my mind and its always bothered me that Ive been barely making ends meet but I haven't disappeared Ive just been trying to get my shit together and I have not been able to but the winds have changed!! Why dont you at least give me your address and I can send you a money order through the mail

Me - How about you just Venmo me that shit right now?
 
Wait...wait wait.......

Him - I completely see your point. I never meant for this and you're completely right in that I screwed up.

Me - Thats great. Here's my venmo address (insert venmo address) to verify, it has a cartoon picture of Trump as the profile pic

Him - Trump???

Him- You like Trump???

Me - As opposed to fucking hillary who would have taken way more than $500 from me with her bullshit? Absolutely. What are you a fucking communists now?

Him - No but I dont like Trump but hillary is no better but I cant stand Trump

Me - Well I cant stand people who take other peoples' money, so....

Say when.

 
Vote Bernie in he's gonna take all the rich people's money

With guns that he wants banned.



Back on topic, Guy from a few years back wanted to tell you he's getting married because he's thinking you'd send a hefty wedding present. Send a burning bag of dog shit and move on.
 
Not even sure why I still had the number in my phone lol

Long story short, like 3-4 years ago, someone I had worked with had their life turn into a total shitshow dumpsterfire. Not entirely his fault, but he also made some stupid decisions along the way that got him there. I had moved out of state and we kept in touch (weren't the best of pals but did talk and hang out when I had lived there) and got little updates about how shitty things were going and what he was trying to do to fix shit, get his head above water, and all sorts of little updates.

The thing that stood out was that A. he WAS actually trying and wasn't one of those people who thought some work/pay wasn't good enough for them and B. he wasn't being a whiny bitch about any of it, and instead finally realized all the advice people had given him before all of this was 100% correct.

Anyways, it got to the point one month where he was going to be short on rent. Called me, and I could tell he wasn't proud of it, asked me for basically anything I'd be willing to loan him until stuff had picked up at work. At this point he had started doing Uber as well. I said $500 and asked when he thought I'd get it back, to which he said 2 months max. Knowing there was a 60% chance I'd get like $40 back from this and a bullshit story, I sent him the $500 because it really didn't matter to me, and had the possibility of saving his ass.

So weeks and a few months went by and I started inquiring about whats been going on, and whats up with the $500. Comms got less and less and more vague. One of the last time we talked, it ended up with him going on and on about how his life sucked and now he's worried that I'm going to 'just come down here and kill me'. LOL

At some point I chalked it up to a waste of my time and moved on with my life and forgot about it. The real loser here was him because had he made this a priority/gotten his head out of his ass, I'm in a position to bail him out of way more than $500 worth of problems; but, thats poor people doing poor people things.

So 5 mintues ago I get a text from him. 'Hey what are you up to?' and then a call that I sent to voicemail 30 seconds later.

Let's see what the votes say and then I'll call him. The first thing out of my mouth when he picks up will be, 'So, wheres my $500?'


if he had your money he would have definitely texted that part

Man I don’t know. I have people that owe me money as well and if they call me up from 3 years from now I would be a little salty but he seems like he’s willing to square it up. No point in holding that grudge now. Just let him square it up and don’t loan him anything anymore.

No need to completely be a dick to him if he really had shit going on.
 
Ok so....I basically left it with the Venmo thing...remember, he was so anxious to send me a money order...and then said he would 'look at it tonight' whatever the fuck that means.

What I've learned so far:

- He contacted me to basically tell me he was getting married. Why...I have no idea.

- He wasn't going to bring the money up at all.

- I bring it up and its oh...money order, venmo, zelle....yet....nothing happened yet

- I've been told 'im sorry' like 40 times so far

Ima follow up tomorrow and try to get some future wife, his job and whatever other random shit info all while constantly asking about venmo.
