I wouldnt do it man. He should be offerring to pay you back in full along with the laptop. But even then, id turn him down.
Just go buy a cheap laptop. You clearly have the money.
If he cant afford the wedding then maybe he should just hold it off until he saves more. Just my two cents.

This is an even better investment, obviously. How is he gonna have basically 2k in a month from now? Why does he need it immediately? Can't he just wait? I rethought the situation. If it was a drug dealer friend and I was chargin 25%, I'd do it, but not someone whose income i dont trust.

I wouldn't do it. He obviously isn't good with money or he would have $2000 in the bank. Don't they have parents that would help out with their wedding? If not, that might be another red flag.

Something about having a great, secure job and asking for a small loan doesn't compute (pun intended).

If it's for wedding expenses then I would do it if he is a real good friend. I would even tell him to pay me back just $1500 and consider the rest my wedding gift.
But he would have to be a real good, trustworthy friend!

NEVER LOAN MONEY, YOU WILL NOT GET IT BACK!!
If your friend was that outstanding he could get a loan from a bank or credit cards, trust me,,, DON'T DO IT!

I've loaned out a lot of money, at this point its something I would rather avoid, even when its payed back the whole situation is a hassle. Would not loan 2 grand, maybe $50 for groceries.

Don't do it if you need to get that money back at exactly the said time. What about $500? How much does 500 or 2000 mean to you?
