If your co-worker making more than you asked to borrow $1000 in an urgent manner, would you lend it? I’ve heard so many horror stories how lending money creates complication & destroys relationship.

Never lend money to a coworker. They can borrow from a online lender

No.

And it’s out of line for a coworker to ask for a loan.

Also with the expectation that they will not pay the money back, and I have to be comfortable with that before lending any amount

No. Report him to HR for even asking, then take his job and enjoy the raise.

Nope don’t do it. Only close friends and family with the expectation that they may not give it back (so it’s more a gift)

This. I'm only lending money to people that I care about enough that if they were to not be able to pay me back, it wouldn't hurt our relationship.

It depends on the nuances of your relationship, but I'm general I'd say it's a bad idea.

Never lent to a coworker but I’ve lent money to friends. One paid back and two stopped initiating contact with me even though I’ve never bugged them to pay it back 🤷🏻‍♂️

She was. She left a good paying job she hated to start over with something that she enjoyed doing and needed help with covering living expenses since the new job paid a lot less.

No. Never.

I’d never loan a co-worker money. I’ve loaned family members money quite a bit over the years, probably close to $20k between 2 sisters and their children. Been burned several times, which was expected. But it ALWAYS impacted the relationship- even if it was “why are you buying a new dress or going out to lunch etc.” when that money could have been used to pay me back. “You can’t go home again”

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate.

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
