There are moments in life when you have to borrow money from friends / acquaintances. We do this for various reasons, but mainly for acute need. Borrowing money, we say - “I will give after the salary”, “I will give it before the end of the month”, “I will give it as I can”. And of course, people either keep their promises or not.
The second category of people (non-paying debts) is most interesting. Than? Yes, in principle, here:
- A person (as it turns out later) simply forgot that he should (there are such);
- - “They will not be able to give it away now” - and are transferred to another term;
- - “Stop lying, I didn’t take anything from you” - I think there are no comments.
The second position can be unpleasant because a person can constantly postpone the time (usually to infinity). Then he gets to those who are in third position - the worst.
Terrible is not the fact that the money was lost in principle (after all, we are not a bank or a “cattle”, and we will not sue or hurt a person), but because the person sold his attitude to himself for pennies. Hardly we will borrow him even after such a case, and whether we will talk to him at all.

The attitude of the people around them is more valuable than money. People! Do not sell yourself!
PS
If you belong to the second / third type, then you should not borrow money to develop / create your business / startup from mere mortals. Go better to the bank. So, in which case, only you will suffer, and not your close friends.

Part of the real story:
Someone in the amount of 2 people conceived to make not a startup, but an analogue of the game Travian. They did not have a designer, so he had to be taken from the outside. There was no money for a designer and they had to be borrowed from friends / acquaintances (I think everything turned out about 8,000 rubles). In general, they collected, paid and got their work. But with the further work on the game, something went wrong for them, they quarreled and dispersed (without doing so). Money borrowed not returned.
Here is such a sad end.
