Im not a bank damn it!

Money is really tight with my husbands job taking away his over time and me not being able to find a job that pays more 6 bucks an hour its gettin tight. Well we have loaned out money to people in need and its like hell gettin it back. My parents owe us $550, my sister owes us $35, my husbands friend owes us $180, and Allstate owes us $650 cause one of there drivers backed into me. So lets add this up thats $1415.

I swear were gettin ready to go through a rough patch and its like no one who owes us cares. they just keep going out and spending money and when I ask them about paying us back they are broke. WTF? I dont know I feel like no one respects me and they are just walking right over me like Im some kind of door mat. Why cant I be a bitch to them and tell them I need my fuckin money more than my mom needs to go out to the bars and to Victorias Secret and Walmart??

Oh and while im venting my dad has turned into a totally differnt person. He is dating this new chick and is buying pot for her kids and shit. What about me damn it. He knows I smoke and he owes me money. Give me the weed instead of her kids or give me the money he is spending on it and give it to me. Grrrr I dont know ????

Oh this post is so loaded princess.

First and best advice I can give you is to NEVER EVER EVER lend to family. Chances of getting it back are slim to none. If you do lend, always make sure you write up a note, how much they mooched and when you can expect to get it back. You sign it UNDER where you have them siggn.
No pay you back? Take them to small claims court. You'll get paid back then.

The friend? Tell him you'll take $20.00 a week until the dedt is paid off and that starts on Friday. Or, The loan is up and now due in full. You'll take that $180.00 at the end of the week. Hell princess, it's your money and these freeloading moochers have got to pay up.

LOAN NO MORE. LOAN NO MORE. LOAN NO MORE.

As for your dad, take him aside and say daddy....wth? Fair is fair and I'm your daughter. Treat me as such They get weed, I want weed too.

i no wat u mean people r quick to lend but slow to pay back,should have more respect,i rarely lend money but when i do i make it a priority to pay back as soon as i can,on a lighter note could u lend me $100 please lol,

take out a loan and use the money to go to collage so you can get a better job. In the meantime go ahead and take the 6$ an hour job and keep on preshuring the people to give you the money back, especialy allstate, becuase the excuse that they can't afford to isn't going to work for an insurance company. If all else fails, sue all state!

I too damn nice for my own good. My family is very disfunctional. Im suprised that I turned out to be a productive citizen. I remeber when I was in second grade it was my birthday and as usual my parents didnt get me anything. But I was gettin money is my birthday cards and my mom came up to me and said if I didnt give them my money we wouldnt have any dinner that night. On top of them owing money my credit is shot thanks to my parents puttin shit in my name when I was a kid and not paying it. This situation is so fucked up. I wish I wasnt so nice sometimes and could be a rude ass bitch like my sisters. What really kills me about my dad though is he use to be so Anti-drug and bust my chops about smoking and now he is buying weed for these kids.

No offence, but your parents don't sound very nice at all.

The Life and Times Of Dro_Princess

that has a nice ring to it

yeah I feel ya

people ask me to buy them shit all the time and I barely work cuz we got too many employees and especially my dad is always hassling me about money to spend mine on him but if I need something I have to pay it back

I need to move out but hes a bit too old to take care of himself and I can't have something like that riding on my conseince

Ahhh shit man, lending family money is always a no no in my book. I, like you feel like punk asking for it back. But as im out of work at the mo, the shoes on the other foot and i owe my family money. But as soon as I get my first pay cheque im paying that shit off. I cant stand owing people money, makes me feel like a loser and the fact that people have been kind enough to lend me money they really dont have, I should have the respect to pay them back as soon as im in a positon to. A lil pressie to goes along way, for being so kind and patient with me! Hope you get things worked out Dro, come down on them like ton of bricks, tell them your up shit creek without a paddle and need the money to buy a paddle!

Hope things work out for you!

Peace

Buddy

I lent a friend some money once. Not a ton, a few hundred here, a few hundred there, maybe $1500 total over time (he was having a rough stretch). It took him years to pay me back, but eventually he did. After paying me back, I was happy and paid for a vacation for both of us to NYC, was pretty expensive. I didn't ask or expect him to pay me back for that; it was my treat. But last year, he gave me something that I turned into around nine grand, which he totally didn't have to do. That made me VERY happy, so now, anytime he wants pot and I have it (which is always), he gets free pot, which makes him very happy. What a long, strange dept-repayment karma trip it's been with him.

Lending money to family though - never done that, nor asked to borrow any. I'm sure I could if I had to, but...I'd rather just not get into that at all. I don't really like lending money to friends either, but at least now I know that CAN work out okay, although it might take a while before it does.
