He had some silver bits he thought I might want before he pawned them. The kicker was he wants them back in a few weeks. His daughter needs gas money. I loaned him $50. He felt better about borrowing the money with collateral. How'd I do?
One of the real privileges of having a few bucks is that you can sacrifice some and not got too distraught about it. I appreciate that privilege when I have it.
If you can help someone without hurting yourself, why not. With the coins in your possession you can't go wrong on this deal money wise.
I think you may have opened yourself up to become a "lender" to others, which is something I wouldn't want to be. Let's hope the daughter never runs out of gas the guy forgets he made the deal. Maybe his daughter needs to get a job and then the problem will be solved.
Nothing written, he's been employed 15+ years. As for the What's his daughter look like ? You don't want a visual effect on that.
100% correct on not wanting to be a bank for people who don't manage their own money. The daughter has a job, makes good money but has a good for nothing looser boyfriend that she supports. Some people are just not real bright in that area (that's putting it nicely) The father is good people but struggling themselves.
