Borrowing from family and friends can feel easier than banks, but it often comes with emotional pressure and expectations.
It can build trust and support—or strain relationships when repayment becomes an issue.
Lenders are often advised to only give what they can afford to lose.
Cultural expectations can blur the line between genuine help and being taken advantage of.
