the best fossilman quote

[fritzwar]

So here's one of the best quotes from an old fossilman post -- at least it fits his situation now very well:


*****************
No. No. No!!

You still haven't gotten the lesson. Don't lend money. Ever. Not to friends, not to family, and 100% never to gamblers or poker players. When somebody is in a spot where they NEED a loan, they probably aren't going to be able to pay it back. If you feel sorry for them (especially the friends and family part), then give them the money. But don't ever lend it. You'll expect it back, they'll let you down, and then you'll hate them (and they'll hate you for owning a part of them).

The only persons who should be lending money are professionals. Banks. Credit Unions. Mortgage brokers, etc.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)
