Interviewer(M)      Mility Hopson(W)
Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
M: What if one day, one member of your family turns to you for lending him or her some money?(1)With the do’s and don’ts of lending money to family, we are joined by Mility Hopson, GMA financial contributor and president of Ariel Capital Management. Welcome.
W: Thank you.
M: So can we narrow it down? Is there a yes-no answer to the question: should you lend family money?
W:(2)I wouldn’t call it a yes-no answer: I would start with a very basic idea. Before you think about this familiar obligation issue, let’s start with:(3 - 1)Can you afford it? And if you can’t afford it, that answers the question right away. Also can you afford it if they don’t pay you back? A bank thinks about the same thing. They assess the risk of the loan they are going to make,(3 - 2)and they don’t make loans that are going to make them insolvent. You shouldn’t either, but if you go down this path, the one thing that I suggest you that helps mute some of the resentment or problems that can occur:(3 - 3)document it. Documentation helps a lot.
M: So those are the guidelines basically. You’re saying: write it down on paper, sign it, date it, and interest rates. Someone said, the interest rates are low, so this is a good deal. We do look at family as a good deal, even for paying an interest. That’s usually lower than the market rate, right?
W: Well,(4 - 1)I would start with, you want your names, the date, the amount, the purpose which you also have the right to know. A bank would ask you what the loan is for.(5)You may not want to lend a family member money for a vacation versus a medical bill.
M: And you should tell them that you don’t want to pay for their trip to Disney World.
W: Absolutely.(4-2)The terms may or may not include interest. They may include a payment plan. And last but not least, sign it, copy it, make sure you both have a copy and when you get into issues, you pull out that piece of paper.
M: And you should have the hurt, supposed to be able to say to the person: I don’t think I want to loan you money for this purpose.
