I lent my boss's daughter a $100.......
It's been 3 weeks, should it take that long to pay me back?
Should I get upset or just write her off?

Your boss pays you? Why didnt he pay his daughter?

never loan what you cant afford to lose,,,

Maybe you should just ask her about the money and what her plans are to pay you back. Go from there.

I have an ex friend (and not because of the money) who owes me a significant amount of money that I will never see unless I sue him. He doesn't have it so I haven't pursued it. Yet...

"Never a lender nor a borrower be" Nice idea, probably a good idea but sometimes hard to live by.

What kind of question is that........if I lost it, it's just gone.....if you say give me, I know it won't get paid back....if you ask to borrow, don't think that you don't have to pay it back in a timely fashion.....only women that can get money from me and not have to pay it back is my mother and girlfriend.......and I'm single
I just thought she might have had better judgement when dealing with straight up people such as myself.....so much for giving everybody the benefit..... But it's my motto.....I'll supply the rope, it's on you to swing or hang yourself.....

perhaps she can't manage to pay you back right now and perhaps you have been played for a sucker but could a disagreement with her cost you your job?

you can always approach her about it perhaps suggest a payment plan?

I would probably write it off as a lost cause and remember not to aide in their financial inability again

most people eventually become aware that it is a good personal policy not to loan money with expectation of repayment. And, I agree with the comment about her dad. When anyone who is not family asks to borrow money simply direct them to their family. Tell people that you do not loan money to anyone but family - and recommend that they see theirs

if this girl couldn't get her dad to loan her money...that's a bad sign that she's a credit risk - just based on what information we have on here - so that may be another wake up sign for u also - as you move forward to live and learn

I would not suggest suing for a debt unless you are certain you will win, and that you will be paid (that they have the money) or else you will spend in legal fees far more than what you loaned and lose a friend - and all of that persons associates' good will as well - jmho

I think it's more of her trying to play me like a sucker
I won't lose my job but she'll definitely get in trouble
I am writing it off as a loss.....but I just feel the need to collect by other means
At the least though she can't even fix her mouth to speak to me

Been there done that got half of the money back and here it is two years later and they still owe me $175.00. I have wrote it off but........then I decided yesterday to just give them a call and explained that I'm having it tough and wanted to know if they could actually pay me the rest of it...

Do I expect them too noooooooooooo do I rely on it noooooooooooo just figured I would let them know I have not forgot my kindness to them....... Even if they have pretty much cut contact with me since then...

Ohhhh well as they say chit happens best not to loan money unless you can afford to just give it to them.whoa I know next time I loan money it will only be what I can afford to give them and not expect it back...

Have you discussed it with her? Did you tell her there was a time limit to pay it back? This conversation is best had with the person who borrowed the money, as none of us know what she's thinking.

There is always a lesson in there.
The next time someone asks to borrow
money from you, the first thing you
say is "What is the payback timetable"
before proffering the cash.

If you can live with it, go for it.
If not, you can decline then and there.

As for the $$ already loaned, I cannot
see how YOU have to feel guilty for
asking about it.

The time limit was two weeks......it's been three
I already got the "I ain't forget about you" line
Just can't stand to hear that again....

That's pride ****ing with ya.

Also, violence isn't the answer.
Just an opinion here, but perhaps the money should be the least of your concerns, maybe anger management is a better route?

Might as well get used to hearing it bro. Life happens to us all and timetables can be tough.

If you REALLY need it back...tell her that you will accept sex in trade at $5.25 per hour. She will crap out the money.

Any chance your boss could cover it and then your boss could deal with their daugter??

Ask your boss for a raise to cover lent money to his daughter. I bet he pays you himself, says he's sorry and chews her out.

He would give it back to me and chew her out......that was my other means of collecting......just wasn't gonna go that route unless I wanted to be vindictive......would that be the adult thing to do?

The adult thing to do would be to ask her if and when she plans on paying you back. I would not get her father in the middle of this, he did not lend the money. She is a big girl make her wear her big girl panties and own up to owing you money. If she has not plan to pay you back then try to help her figure out how to pay you back, even if it means over a period of time. If that does not work, chalk it all up to a life lesson and move on.

She isn't exactly doing the adult thing to do by taking your kindness for weakness either. I mean if she has any intentions of paying back she should have at least come up with $20 or $30 bucks in good faith within the past 3 weeks. I'm just saying...
