My Friend Used Our ₦450,000 Business Savings to Fund His Relationship

When I got a new roommate in 2013, I never expected we would become close friends and later plan a business together. We agreed to save money for a supply business, and I trusted him to keep our contributions safe. After he started dating, I noticed he was spending heavily on gifts and outings. When I asked about our savings, he avoided the question before finally admitting he had used part of the money to impress his girlfriend. I demanded my ₦450,000 contribution back and ended the business plan. He repaid me over six months with help from his aunt, but the friendship never recovered. The experience taught me to keep proper records and safeguards when money is involved, even with close friends.
