Seeking opinion

First Case - My ex-colleague, a Senior Engineer when I was in the same Company with her, mentioned her hubby is out of Singapore and her daughter is in Hospital, need to do MRI, after deducting Medisave, she doesn't have enough and approach me to lend $300. Reply her that I have my difficulties and not able to lend her.

Second Case - Also an ex-colleague, we are now not in that organization anymore.  She approach me for financial help to help her son and she will sign an IOU.  Reply her, I am tight also as my expenses has increase.

Third Case - This morning, a neighbour approach me to lend her $750, which I reply her, I have my own difficulties, then she said what about $500, which I then told her, I need money too for my mum's expenses.

Seeking opinion - will you lend money if you were approach?

    I've lent money to people, given some to good friends to help them in times of need, never asked for it back. After all, it's only money. For one thing, if one can spare the money, it is good to help...but really good friends, not people who come to you only in times of need and those with a bad reputation, borrowing left, right and centre. Lots like that!

      I will loves to help if it's for a good cause, if I had the means...

      Understand, some they will think and come to you only when there's a need..

    I have lent money to close friends when they were really in deep trouble. They all fled and never returned the loan. I would still help in future if I can afford but not now. I am helping the hungry and homeless people every weekend with all the collected food. It is another form of help but to strangers without expectation.

      Same here, if I had the mean, I will help, but right now, with my mum's increase expenses, difficult for me to help...

    It all depends whether you have the money especially with the increased expenditure for you mom. I know sometimes, we are caught in a difficult situation.
