Been there done that. Wife is still very upset with a couple we know.
My self I dont let all that bother me any more.
If I help out some one its a gift.

I had one guy ask to borrow $150 because his car broke down. I lent him the money. 5 years later still have not seen one cent. 1 year ago he needed $1000 to keep his house. House got forclosed on.
I spent 3 years being mad about the $150 and he lost his house. ( I could have helped)

I decided that its not worth the mental anguish worring about getting paid back.
About a year ago. One of my wifes friends was having some diffeculties and had asked or at least let my wife know she needed $300. My wife aproached me and asked if she could lend her the money. I said NO. If she is a good enough friend to lend $300 to then is she not good enough to give $300 to?
with out going into details it was the Best $300 we ever gave away. Has come back many times over in friendship. ( Oh and she did pay the money back)
And yes we have the leaches too. They have a $50 life time limmit.
Goes some thing like this. Can you lend me $50 for ( what ever)
( me) OK.....
Great! I will pay you back next Friday!
( me) Dont worry pay me what you can when you can.
How this $50 works out determines if they ever get any more help from me.
Unfortunatly most have failed. But we are still friends. Just wont give them any money. EVER
