Borrowed money from a friend

in Loans
Back in December a friend lent me money to buy a vehicle. I am on a very low income so could not get a bank loan, and could not save up to get it because of the cost of public transport here. He lent me 'X' to be paid back in 12 installments over a year. 6 months in and its just not worked out the way we planned it and I am wondering what I should do...........to celebrate the fact I have just paid the final installment! Not all friends who borrow are out to screw their friends over;)

    True friendship is priceless, hope you keep each other for life.

    I still send Christmas/birthday cards to a couple friends who i grew up with over 50 years ago.

    Well done.
    If you read this forum long enough it could easily make anyone cynical, its nice to hear about the times when it works out.
