How do you deal with the situation where people who you are close to like family and friends are constantly demanding for one kind of financial assistance or the other. It is not possible to help everyone, so how do you handle it and make sure that giving and trying to help people do not turn into a problem for you. How about people who borrow money from you and never return it or even show any effort to make payment back to you, how did you go about the situation?
Many things have happened to me about borrowing and giving to friends. One thing is that when they know you have the mind of giving, more and more people will keep approaching you for giving or fake borrowing untill you go broke. If you stop helping, no one will die of course.
There's one that happened to me recently. Someone called me to lend him $200 that he will repay in month time. I was unable to lend him because I exhausted my fund for charity that month. Can you imagine that exactly the same day he promised to pay back the money, he chatted me up and was asking for any amount of money to fill gas. I sent him money for gas, and was like, assuming I gave that $200, there was no how it would be repaid.
