I went through a period where I loaned money to anyone that asked me
I loan money to people and never expect to be repaid. If someone asks for $2k I give them $5k. $400 give them $1k.Sometimes I get paid back. Usually not. It’s because people are aware I have money so various people ask.The goal isn’t to get paid back. Often these acquaintances cut off all contact. The goal is to never be asked for money again and slowly bled out by frequent sob stories. If they know they are already into me for more than they thought they would get, they won’t come back, and I don’t look like a jerk.
