Why is it a bad thing for men to lend money?

Eyes rolling upwards, here we go again.
“Ok, why is it a bad thing for men to lend money?” (Kenneth T knows this already).
Because God said ‘It is not good for man to be a loan’ in Genesis 2 v. 18
Mind you, my translation’s the NQR Revised Version. This is the Not Quite Right version, so that may explain things.
Still, it is said ‘Neither a borrower or a lender be’ so maybe it does make some sense after all.
P.S. The Bible translations all have some flaws, even the best versions. You have to go back to the original text. I am trying to sort out some of the issues, although others may well have got there before me.
Baldmichael Theresoluteprotector'sson. When not posting pages or paging posties, trying to be a good husband, and getting over a long term health issue, I am putting the world to rights. I have nothing better to do, so why not?
But of course that includes dancing, being funny (in more than one sense), poking fun at life, poking fun at myself, deflating the pompous, reflating the sad. Seeking to heal the whole of the soul (and body where possible). In short making life as good as it possibly can be for others as well as myself. You can't say fairer than that.
But if you can, please say. People need to know.

Isn’t ‘Neither a borrower or a lender be’ attributed to Shakespeare? Did you say ‘same difference?’
