The risk of lending money to anyone, whoever it is, is always that you won't get the money back. But if you start from that principle, you will always say “no” to those who ask for loans. However, there are many honest people who really need bailouts and pay on time. After all, both asking and receiving this type of request are very unpleasant situations and few people want to “pay the price” for this wear and tear […]
If you say “yes, I borrow”, be aware that you may run out of money. If you find it more convenient, say a justified “no”: “Unfortunately, I can't count on luck. I will need this money very soon.” If the person still insists on the request, leave with an evasion: "In addition to having to count on this amount soon, I didn't want to talk to you, but I just loaned money to another friend."
