There was a time I felt like I was trapped in a corner every time someone asked me to lend them money.

90% of the time, lending out money is a bad idea that didn’t just lose me money, but it also soured the relationship that existed.

I have learned that with any commitment, you either go 100% or you’re as good as being at 0%. So I have a 100% no-lending rule and a 100% no-borrowing rule.

The no-lending rule is uncomfortable in the now, but it helps put a boundary that protects my relationships.

The no-borrowing rule is uncomfortable in the now, but it helps me plan within my means.

Work with what works for you.
