I wonder if anyone has done family loans through Prosper, Virgin Money, etc? Seems it might neutralize some of the inherent problems in loaning to family. But.... Where would Judge Judy be without families/friends loaning without any documentation???? :-)) Nice post; seems apropos in these times.

Your parents sound sweet and sensible. I've had both good and bad experiences with receiving and giving loans. I think that one has to think twice before handing them out.

They only let me have the first two, because I'd paid about 2/3 of the price. Then they gave me the third a week early on Christmas and forgave the last $2 of the loan. It was a nice gesture and made my Christmas fun. (I was addicted.) Otherwise it's either been a gift or nothing.
