ONE RULE FOR A HAPPY LIFE
Never loan anybody anything unless you are prepared to consider it a gift.
That's especially true for family, but it applies to friends, as well.
And when I say "consider it a gift" that means without angst or anger.
It's a gift.
Freely given and without rancor if you never see any pay back.
And, if you do happen to get paid back, consider it found money and go out and buy yourself a new gun.
