Lending is a bad idea, if you want to help someone out and you can afford it by all means give them the money... but expecting (or worse, needing) it back will end in tears.

If they end up doing better and decide to pay you back, that's fine. You might also hope if the shoe is ever on the other foot, they'll help you out. But an actual "loan"? No... that's how you end up on Judge Judy.
