Been kicking myself since.
Been there. Done that. Got the T-Shirt. The number one rule I learned from the experience is this:
Friends and family will run you out of business and into the ground and "WILL" "NOT" "CARE".
Based on that lesson, I do not loan money or my credit to friends or family. When it comes to family, they can get as upset as they like. I no longer care about their "feelings". True family will get over it in time. Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate.
