How many people would you give 10 dollars to without question?
How many people would you give 10 dollars to without question?
What if it were 100? Or 1000? or 10000? or 100000?
At what point do you ask questions?

Saying 'no questions asked' is weird saying in most situations.
Honestly if anyone I'm in good terms with came to me and was like 'can I have 10$? ' I would just give it to them and resume my things cause I probably don't even want to know or care what they'll do with it.
I mean, whats the worst you could do with 10$
I had an addict friend hit me up for $10 and I didn’t know he relapsed and he died from the bad heroin he bought with that $10.
Point being, that’s prob the worst you can do with $10.
I stand corrected. So sorry to hear that and for your loss. I'll be more thoughtful in the future
Nobody. What on earth could you possibly need money for without giving some sort of explanation
If I've got it, I'd lend my long time best friends up to €1000 without question. I would not really expect them to pay it back. I trust that if or when they can they will. If they can't, they can't. People that are not my besties? No.
How about when they come for the next $1,000 not having paid back the first?
In a "no time to explain" situation: most of my friends and family
If they actively refuse to explain: maybe my 2-3 closest people whom I trust they have a good reason for that kind of secrecy.
Explaining what's going on is the price you pay for free money.
I don't think this is always the case. I was asked by a woman that I was training at work if she could borrow $20 a few months ago and this was my initial response "what for?" Then my brain kicked in and I recognized that it could be for something innocuous like lunch or something else like tampons or other personal items and that it wasn't any of my business, so I told her "sorry that seemed kind of personal" and offered it to her.
If someone asked me for a more significant amount of money, I'd definitely want to know what for, but a one-time request for $20 is fairly inconsequential to me if it's someone I know.
Same for me
Zero.
If someone I know asks me for money, I'm at least asking them "what's up? Everything ok?" before giving them money.
Then after that, still probably zero because I don't have any cash in my wallet atm. So hopefully I can help in some other way, give them a lift somewhere, cover a meal, something.
Well do you mean random stranger people or people in my knowledge sphere?
The way it's worded. It's both
$10 without question, probably 3 or 4 but they make about the same annually as I do and we constantly pay each other back for meals or group purchases.
Over $20 I'd definitely ask why at the very least.
Everyone I would give my money to would give that reason unprompted so I wouldn't have to ask.
Except kids, they might ask just to see if it works, and then I would ask to know what for.
I don't think I've ever been asked to give away something without being offered a reason, actually...
I suppose you could pose the question differently. Who would you give 10,100,1000 to if they said they needed it but they said no questions asked.
Hmm. Probably no one.
Small amounts are weird to need "no questions asked" and large amounts are too large to give away "no questions asked". Partly for me financially, but mostly because there is a not insignificant risk of overdose if you give out large sums of money to someone being cagey about why they need it.
If they can't tell me what a significant amount of money is for, it's probably because it's something I don't want my money to go to, so I'm not inclined to agree under those premises.
At the least I would need a very good reason for why I can't ask questions ("I'm preparing to vacation as a fugitive, and don't want you to have to testify"), but by then there is no longer no questions asked...
I have a handful of friends I've lent around a grand to before, one considerably more than that. With a repayment plan set up, which was followed, but I don't really know or care what it was used for. Avoiding high interest rates on credit cards I assume.
Okay I would ask questions for any amount of money unless they tell me first. The people I feel I would easily give money are also the same people who I'd expect they tell me first why- they wouldn't be "hey mothra got some spare 100s?"
To answer your question, I would easily give 10 to about a dozen people or so, 100 to half of them and 1k+ to only 3, and for a very good reason only. I didn't even realize the number of people would halve.
