Remember DH's "best" friend who magically showed up at our house 2 summers ago asking for $5,000 that he would magically pay us back within 90 days? As you know hubby insisted I give it to him-- a single guy in California.
Well, I'm steamed. OF course, he never paid him back and we've heard from him maybe once since he borrowed the money. Today, he emails me his online photo album of his month-long trip TO BRAZIL! You can't pay back your friends who have two kids to support, but you can go to Brazil??? I am so steamed. This is why I didn't want to give it to him in the first place. He couldn't pay his mortgage and property taxes because he'd rather spend his money on "fun" stuff. He's just like my sister. It makes me so mad. Sorry, I haven't done anything fun in years, stashing away every spare penny for me and my family's future, and you come along and take a huge chunk of it, disappear, and go to f**ing brazil. NEVER AGAIN>
Quick rant!

My former boyfriend is in the same boat. He let a friend on the verge of homelessness move in with him. Then the friend's father died without making arrangements for his funeral (although he did specify what he wanted done for his funeral). My old BF lent his friend over $5000 to pay for the funeral. Now two years later, the "friend" denies that they need to pay him back, meanwhile spending money to give gifts to children & grandchildren. My old BF is too much of a wimp to put his foot down and demand repayment OR to order this person out of his house, since he apparently now has enough money to live on his own.
Reminds me of that quote that George W. Bush famously blundered: "Fool me once, shame on you; food me twice, shame on me."

And I would totally ask my DH to call his "friend" and ask for the money back ASAP given he can afford vacations and all.
