Borrowing Anything From Anyone - The Top 9 Rules

Getting a free ride is one thing, but being asked to help out a friend is quite another. The best way to handle the situation is to do it on your terms. While you are at it, do your part to help out your aforementioned friend. The best part is that you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped someone out in the process. Plus, you'll get to see the big smile on his or her face. After all, who doesn't like to feel appreciated?


If you do opt for a loan, there's no need to feel guilty. It's like a mini-vacation. Just be sure to make a point of thanking your friend for the freebies!

So, the next time you are looking for a cheap ride, remember to ask, you may be pleasantly surprised.

While you're at it, be sure to check out the local hot spots. Not only is it a great way to make some new friends, it also helps to keep the neighbors happy and prevent you from having to share the family dog. Of course, if you're going to ask, you may as well get in the game early.
