   Set up an account for each of ur friends with their
   name. All these accounts could be under a top level
   account maybe called "To/From friends" or whatever u
   like. The type of all these accounts will be "Bank".

(Disclaimer: I am not an accountant.)

Technically, when you loan money to someone, the loan is an asset
(which you "sell" when the creditor pays you back), and when
youborrow, the loan is a liability.

So you could create an asset account "Loans to George" and then
a liability account "Money borrowed from George", and transfer
money to and from these accounts as you loan out, borrow, and get
repaid.

"Rav would never cross a bridge when an idolator was on it; he said, 'Maybe he
will be judged and I will be taken with him.'  Shmuel would only cross a
bridge when an idolator was on it; he said, 'Satan cannot rule two nations [at
once].'  Rabbi Yannai would examine [the bridge] and cross."  --Shabbat 32a
