Informal Lending? have you ever...?

[investorblogger]

I was thinking about informal lending after I wrote about a chinese hui (i'm based in Taiwan) that I was involved with a few years ago.

What other informal lending do people do these days?

How do you work it? Have you ever been an informal lender or informal borrower?

I know I have on more than one occasion. Given that credit these days is difficult to come by... it could be an option for more people.

Thanks,
Kenneth
