What if it were 100? Or 1000? or 10000? or 100000?

At what point do you ask questions?

    Ten? Anyone, if I have it on me. I don’t, usually but have done that for random panhandlers, instead of spare change.

    100? That’s harder. Any friend or relative who hasn’t asked me for money, again, if I have it and they don’t.

    1000? No. That is “questions asked” territory for anyone.

    Story time… A guy I used to work with hit me up out of the blue to ask if I could venmo him $20 and he’d venmo it right back. I, knew this proposition was suspect. I told him he could just have $20 if he needed it. I asked around, and apparently he’d been hard into drugs and asked a similar thing to a lot of other people. He asked if the company I worked for was hiring a few weeks later. “Sorry bro, hiring freeze.” (There was no hiring freeze). I also never sent him another dime.

    Saying ‘no questions asked’ is weird saying in most situations.

    Honestly if anyone I’m in good terms with came to me and was like 'can I have 10$? ’ I would just give it to them and resume my things cause I probably don’t even want to know or care what they’ll do with it.

    I mean, whats the worst you could do with 10$

    If I’ve got it, I’d lend my long time best friends up to €1000 without question. I would not really expect them to pay it back. I trust that if or when they can they will. If they can’t, they can’t. People that are not my besties? No.

    I don’t think I give anything without any questions to strangers.

    If we are talking friends then probably like 5 until I start wondering why they all need 10 dollars suddenly

    I have a handful of friends I’ve lent around a grand to before, one considerably more than that. With a repayment plan set up, which was followed, but I don’t really know or care what it was used for. Avoiding high interest rates on credit cards I assume.
