Why is it that people who do not believe in lending money are called stingy?

Question

After all, they have good reason. Many people take advantage of generosity and will start a cycle of taking money from others and not repaying. It ruins many relationships. If they need money they should get a job and earn their own money.

Answer 1

Well they think your selfish for not sharing. Six lashes with a wet noodlel for you. Ahhh! you don't share when they could get a job and get there own money. Oh shame oh shame!!!

I am with you. I have lost more so called friends. Maybe I better say I lost people over lending money and they don't pay back.

Answer 2

my dad always said - lend it, loose it.

if you want to give someone something you should be expecting not to get it back! so i dont give!

Answer 3

I don't lend my friends money.  It seems to give them amnesia.

Answer 4

I think the people that are calling them stingy, are the people who are trying to borrow money for either a "silly" reason. Or They really are bad at handling/managing their own money so they call other people stingy. Or it's a combination of both.
