This has probably been stated in an earlier post, but if you decide to loan money, always put it in writing.  In some jurisdictions, a verbal loan is generally unenforceable.  More importantly, if there is ever a dispute, you want some documentation.   If it is a large loan, request that the loan is secured with some of his assets.  This way, if he/she defaults, you can try to seize the assets.

I'd loan money to friends (never been asked) or family (has been requested-and granted) if I have it (never put yourself in financial distress).   I was super poor when I was young, and people helped me out (not with cash, but letting me stay with them and stuff like that).   With that said, if the potential borrower has a drug, gambling or credit card problem, don't do it, even if they say it isn't for that.   I loaned a family member some money who liked to gamble and gets in credit card trouble, and I'm absolutely certain I'll never get it back.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
