A lot of controversy exists over whether loaning money from friends is beneficial of not. Although some people may argue that borrowing money from friends makes their relationship much harder, I strongly believe that the disadvantages of loaning money from friends are more significant. There are several reasons for this opinion, and I would like to describe two of the most ones. First, loaning from friend usually makes friendship seriously. Moreover, loaning money from friends usually considers easily.
Most importantly, borrowing money from friends sometimes makes friendship worse. Money is usually considered as a goal of life or a significant consideration for people. If people cannot return their debts on time or forget their owes, trust between loaner and loanee will be destroyed. For example, when I was young, one of my father's old friends had a hard time running his business, so he wanted to borrow large money from my father. He lent a money without any warrant because he surely trusted his friend. However, my father's friend's business closed down, he flew away. My father said with regret if he had not loan his money to his friend, he would not have lost his friend, and money was not a problem, losing friend were the big problem.
Moreover, loaning money from friends usually does not consider seriously. It is because there are no enforcement to return money and penalty such as interest, which make people feel less responsibility to return debts. For instance, one of my old friends was a good guy and had lots of friends. However, he was a guy who had bad memory in his financial life, especially returning his money. As time passed, friends who were around him were left from him.
In conclusion, I consider loaning money from friends has a negative impact on our lives. Since if we lend money from friends, then they will have a much greater chance to make their relationship worse and people usually does not think that money seriously. Regardless of what others say, I think people should understand the negative influence on borrowing money from their acquaintances.
