I agree with you but i didn't agree on the point that our friend circle should be small, because the more the friends the more happier the life will be, and you didn't have to make those friends your best friend until you begin to trust them and you analysed them in a certain way that they will not cheat or they are not only your friend just to take something from you, so make more friends but good friends and the more the merrier

You made some great points, and I agree with most of them. However, we should remember that nothing is absolute, and the world functions on helping each other—not always through money.

So, saying we should never lend money as a fixed rule isn’t the best approach.

Instead, we should help when we can, while staying aware of our limits and making sure we can afford it if the money is not returned.

That’s why you should:

Never flaunt your wealth

Always act poor

Be frugal

I don't fully agree with this. We should "never" lend money? No. We can lend money, depends on the person we are lending it to, also the reason they need it for.

I lend money to couple of my friends all the time, and they give it back with a simple reminder. I have got a loan from one of my close friend, and I gave it back when I promised.

So I would help a friend/family in need. And I would want to rely on my friends or my family when I am in need.

Just wanted to say—your email "Why You Should Never Lend Money to Anyone" was 🔥. Seriously, the way you explained such a tricky topic was bang on!

The title grabbed me right away, and the way you laid it all out was so relatable and clear. You’ve got this way of making even the most awkward stuff easy to understand without sounding preachy. Loved it!
