When lending money to a friend, you have to decide what means more to you, your money or your friend. You're better off just giving the money to a friend,then it won't eat at you. I say this because I lent my best friend $8800.00 in 2001, and haven't gotten a nickle back. Last I heard, he was gone skiing in Utah.
When it comes to business deals on a handshake, of late...I've taken a hosing and given the same in return. The lesson I learned is handshakes and good words are for crap...set dates, make the expectations clear and put it in writing. Works much better. Pity though....I miss the days of a handshake being the seal of the deal.
