Neither a borrower or lender be.


  • Another study from 2024 found that Australians estimated they were about $1,350 out of pocket on average due to friends not repaying debts, and 44% of people chose not to pursue owed funds to avoid embarrassment.

Right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you're not in denial.

It should be noted that there is now no intelligentsia that is not in some sense “Left”. Perhaps the last right-wing intellectual was TE Lawrence.
TE Lawrence (aka ‘Lawrence of Arabia’) died in 1935

I wish I had followed this earlier. Was a soft touch to my regret, thousands of $ never to be seen again. T

 Ditto. Never had any money I lent ever returned.

 Probably never expected it to be returned, considering mostly it was my sister to whom I lent it.

Mmm, I had a “friend” who was doing it tough. 3 kids, casual job and a meth problem for both of them. But somehow we liked him.

He hit a ‘roo and wrote off his car. I was about to sell Mrs Freefall’s old Camry. I “sold” it to him and even paid for the RWC and transfer fees.

Today, 10 years later, he still owes me $2,050 and has left town.

HG, in the other thread you posted this quote I’ve commented that the “stupid” person confuses “average” with “median”.

And I’m not referring to you.

Find that very hard to believe.....surely over your long life you have lent money to lots of people.....if only for very short periods
