Running a business or working a dead-end job is not always an easy task. Sometimes you need more money, and taking out a loan might not be possible. How often have you borrowed money from someone? Maybe a family member or friend. I haven't borrowed a lot of money from friends or family, as I don't want to be stuck paying them back. Of course I will, but with friends and family, they probably want the loan back sooner than a bank would. Anyway, how often do you borrow money from people? And if so, do you try not to borrow unless you really have to?
