What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Ori Strum’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hey everyone, welcome back. Day 248 of our journey. We continue the topic of loans. Let's jump right in. If let's say you're dealing with a poor person comes to you for a loan and he doesn't have a guarantor. He doesn't have someone who's going to help pay him back if he if he folds. Let's say he asking you for amount that you could really tolerate if you wouldn't get it back. the guy is has intentions that he will probably try to pay you back. Um, he's a good guy. So, trust him one time and and give him a loan, but don't make it a regular thing, but don't give him another loan until he repays the first loan. So, don't give him a loan on top of another loan. Um, rather, he should pay it off. Um, and then you could give him an an additional loan within the same type of context. Don't just rely that, oh, he's a trusted guy, so I'm going to give him, you know, $8 million. Don't give them too much because what do people do? Some swindlers, they'll they'll borrow a loan four or five times. They'll pay back each time and then the sixth time they're not going to pay back. So they try to build trust and then they throw back at you. He's gonna consume your fortune. Um and therefore don't give him too much that way. It's don't don't give him too much to avoid having these types of fallouts.
