What happened
I lent my brother €12,000 for his business and never wrote anything down, because writing it down felt insulting. Four years later nobody mentions it and we barely speak.
What it cost
€12,000
Time lost
4 years
Emotional cost
Bitter
What I learned
Write it down or treat it as a gift. There is no third option that keeps the relationship intact.
