I think each of us have done something that is risky before. And if I begin to ask everyone of us, I will realize that a lot of here do things that are very risky. At the same time, some of us trust others too much. This is why we take some kinds of risks but at the end of the day, those set of people will still dissapoint us. One og the riskiest things things that I have ever done is lending someone money. I know that lending someone money may not sound risky but there are times when your source could be risky.
I have a friend and she's so kind to me. There are times when she comes to me for financial help and there are also times when I go to her for financial help. Since we both are best of friends, I think it is no big deal if I lemd her money. There was a time she had a big problem. She took a loan for a busienss sometime ago but things did not go as she planned. On the long run, we realized that she was scammed and she needs to pay back the loan because the due date was fast approaching.

If she does not pay on or before the due date, they may arrest her. This is why a lot of people do not like to take loans. Those loan companies will embarrass you. This is even why I don't like to take loans too. So, we thouhht of what to do. At the same time, my house rent had expired and my landlord also gave me a due date of when to pay the loan. I called my dad and he sent it three days after I called him.
I was given a due date and my friend was also given a due date. Then, I decided to borrow her the house rent that my dad gave to me hoping that she will return it on or before the date my landlord asked me to pay my house rent. Then, I gave her the money and she was able to pay the loan company. Well, there was no hope for her to get any other money and my landlord was really threatening me to pay my house rent if I want to remain in the house.
For a week, my friend could not get the money and I begged my landlord but I was finally told to leave the house so I moved to her place. After a few days, she decided to call her boyfriend who's not in the country and told him the whole thing. She also told me about the money that she borrowed from me. At the end of the day, the guy sent the money and even sent me times two of my money.
Well, I learnt from this. I learnt that there sre still some good people who will pay back your money that they have borrowed from you. Also, I learnt that we should not trust people too much. If my friend did not pay back the money, the trust I have in her will no more be there but I'm glad she paid the money. I was just telling us not to trust people because things may not always go right.
At the end of the day, I'm glad that she paid my money and I got a house better that the one that I left.
