She's still my BFF.

Well sure, you had a rare instince were you actually got your money back. That is not the norm.

Close friends and family? Absolutely yes. Family is usually the worst though.

My friends and I are constantly borrowing each others things. Usually, but not always, we're working together anyhow.

I do have 2 friends that I would trust absolutely anything with. They are more like my brothers.

Hmmm...well I wouldn't have loaned out that much money if I didn't think I would get it back. How on earth anyone can take several thousand dollars and not pay it back is beyond me.

My brothers always need like $50 here and $100 there. Like I said, I've never seen a return on that, but they are my brothers and that's different I guess.

People can, and do, take thousands from friends and never pay it back. Some friends they are.
