1. If I were to loan out money to someone, I would want them to pay me interest because loaning out money is just offering another service. If I were offering the service of washing someone's car, I would expect them to pay for my time and effort. This is the same idea when loaning out money. It is a service and although I would not be contributing much, if any, effort, I would still be contributing the time that I did not have that money, and, therefore, I should be payed for it. | 1.
