Lending money as an older adult
– moneysense.ca
If you’re an older adult, there’s a good chance someone younger, probably employed has asked you for money. There’s a good chance it was for substantial amount of money. And if you obliged, there’s an equally good chance no documents were signed.
What’s the cause of this borrowing?
Some reasons for borrowing from older adults include:
