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?
I will never displease myself to please other people. If I must lend anyone money, then it must be amounts I am willing to lose and not money I kept aside to use to settle specific needs because, some borrowers can be tricky, especially the ones that are related to you by blood because they know that the consequences of their actions will be very minimal. Most times, they might want to use emotional blackmail to lure you into lending to them sums you both know they cannot pay back. It is better you give out what you can afford to lose and forget about it, than giving out large sums you live to regret later. Many relationships have been ruined because of borrowing .
People really need to pay back their loans with the same energy they used to borrow it. This is the right thing to do.
