Time to make a decision. Do i simply break my friendship for $1500 or do i even compare my friendship with the money I have given for friendship? I decided not to break things apart. They have my money which they haven't paid back. I would have pushed them harder if they actually had money and NOT paid me than having NOT paid because don't have money an they are in serious problem. currently they are not being able to pay back as promised but have good intension to pay back as their financial status improve. This may take from few days, weeks or even 10 years, who knows. This is something you should already think about before you lend money.
