I am kind of giggling this morning. I like to believe in karma. My "BFF" and her husband owe me close to $30k. Part is borrowed(about $5k) part was a billing error($2k) the balance from a joint building venture. I am in the process of getting my ducks in a row to take them to court. Oh, the husband has also failed to pay my son $500 from working for him.
This morning my "BFF" phones me b!tching theat her tenants moved out wthout giving her proper notice. Well, they gave her "verbal" notice with well within the legal time frame, but they never wrote it down. She knew they were moving because they bought a house....we are realtors...I told her when they take possession because that info was presented to me. Yes, she did not have written notice, but she knew well in advance. Her company also has a property manager that finds her new tenants when needed. We have a near zero vacancy rate here, so its not hard. Thing is, she wanted to be a b!tch about it...don't know why, but she is...she wants her next months rent.
This same BFF left her husband last year(then moved back) and leased a place. Then she bailed on the signed lease even though I gave her proper legal recourse on how she could get out of the lease, she ignored it...and has the audacity to be a b!tch to her own landlord while ripping her off.
She has owed me a good chunk of money now for over two years...the building money since March. Did I mention that she has since taken trips to places like Vegas and India since?
For 2012...one of my personal goals is to get all money owed to me back in my possession. I could live for about 5 years without working for all that is owed to me. I am a very reasonable person, generally, but enough is enough.
So...here I am telling myself "No more Mrs Nice Gal" and then I get this message from the secretary at my office.."thanks for such a sweet Christmas card...you're such a nice person!" Ugh! lol
Anyway...I have noticed that people come to depend on others who are willing to help, are loyal etc...and when these people say "no", its like they just did something completely immoral.
Then there is the whole "who the hell do YOU think you are???" attitude that come from the people who owe you the money when you have the audacity to ask for it back...lol.
Great way to cleanse the friends list I think....a lot of people are going to hate me next year, lol.
...and what are your new years resolutions? lol. I think this is going to be a fun year for me :o)

Hey, can I borrow some money? LOL, just kidding, but I know EXACTLY what you mean...
--------------------
Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Seriously though! I know right! Lost a few friends that lost their head when I said 'no'. Then I wasn't a good friend to them. I was like really, wow, I thought the other 237,999 times I bailed you out would earn me at least one no.

Most of my "friends" owe me money....many thousand between all of them, although I don't borrow to anyone once they "default."
It's odd that when I've asked for what they owe, they look at me like I OWED THEM the money.
I don't know where that line of thinking comes from....I'm one to go look for the people I owe to so I can pay...and preferably early.

Yes, same here. I don't understand the people that don't, then try to justify why they don't have to pay you back. Could make an interesting book of excuses to laugh through tho :o)

Ha, ha. I'm remembering a Simpsons episode. Homer is trying to help save Ned's Leftorium shop and he calls up a friend:
"Hello Jerry? Homer Simpson. Remember last month when I paid back that loan? Yeah, well now I need YOU to do a favour for me", lol. I laugh every time I watch it.

I don't borrow money from people - I will do without first. And, I don't "loan" any money that I don't want to lose - I won't ask for it back - I expect you to pay me back. So, if I don't want to lose the money, I don't loan it.

I don't loan money. Not anymore. Did that once.
I'm one of those "I'll be there for you at the airport 200 miles away from my house when you come crawling back from an affair with a man old enough to be your grandpa and not even bat an eyelash" kind of friends. Her loss.
