Thanks for the input guys. It helped me come to the realization that maybe I am extremely fortunate to be in a situation where this hasn't really effected my life financially as I was lucky enough to land and maintain a good job through covid right out of school. He really does need the money more than I do, and maybe being out a little bit of money is worth helping a buddy get out of the gutter, I just wish it was a voluntary choice as id sleep easier with that. I guess all I can do is hope his business takes off and he will be able to pay me back someday, and if not I'll just have to put this one in the "hard lessons learned" folder. 

I would keep a steady chain of emails every couple weeks about it, but I would file it into hard lessons learned. Basically the lesson is, "don't finance anything, to anyone, ever."

 

I'm one of the Dave Ramsey types, and I know people who've had to send collectors, and when I read the topic, first thing I thought was "Well what did you expect?"
