fronting

Someone just gave me an IOU for paying me back next month after he comes back from his flight. The last time he owed me like 28 dollars, he came back with 40 and now he got some more stuff and owes me 108-120 dollars.
I hate this anxious feeling in my stomach, maybe next time I should take some collateral?

What?
I only front if I can afford to not get payed, which is a rarity.

Fuck I'm dumb. He wanted a couple things nobody else wanted but in the end its not in my possession anymore and he owes me like a hundred bucks.
How should I take it the next time? Just straight up tell people like I'm sorry man I don't front?
Actually that sounds like a great idea.

Heres the scenario you just created. "Hey man here's my money from last time. Can I get 100 more on the front?" Essentially you never actually get paid. This happened to a couple of acquaintances of mine made me everytime. Ya just tell them, I dont front, I don't like people owing me/owing others money. It's a bad dynamic in the business relationship altogether. Fronting. When you feel like giving money away.

Fronting? What would Jesus say? That is a sin you don't have to commit.

How I feel about anything. I look at it this way, if I go to a store I can not be like oh I will be back in a few days to pay for it, even credit cards can get rejected if you don't have the money. If I am giving you a product I want the money it is worth. Nothing worse then when the person springs it on you when you are there I just laugh and leave. With providing certain services but sorry you don't need to be mister nice guy and walk over me

You guys know what the worst part is? (Aside from the fronting) He called me when he was infront of my door when I was studying for my econ exam instead of asking me whether I was free or not.
Good thing they were psychs not fucking heroin or something or else I'd have to get a new address.

I would only do it if they were a close friend and I didn't expect to get paid. Kinda like loaning money.
If you're moving stuff you are already a little vulnerable. Why make yourself more vulnerable by giving your warez away?
