In today's economy I think it'd be best if you hang on to your money.... you never know when you are going to need it yourself. Tell them to sell a few birds.... as long as they go to good homes there is nothing wrong with that if it gets them out of their financial pickle.
I would feel different if these were life long friends you know and love and trust... but someone you've known a couple of weeks asking you for $1000.00 loan? Sounds sketchy to me and instantly sends up the "red flag" warning.
Keep your money girl and tell em to sell a few birds  |
It made me feel weird when they asked. I didn't know what to say or do. I am a little worried that my birds may suffer if I don't make something happen for them. I hear you though, and, I it did send a red flag up to me as well...I really need to talk to them more today...I wish they never would of put me in this situation.

not even if any family asked to lend 1k and i didnt have it would i give it them. they should just go to the bank or someone that does loans if its only 1000.

I wondered about the bank....then I thought maybe they don't have credit...I don't know they really didn't elaborate as to why they couldn't get the money they just told me they needed it.....by today.
