Even if you say your ok if you never see the money again, it will bug the shit out of you when they haven’t paid it back and are taking vacations.
I suggest coming up with a great excuse why you can’t lend the money.
Examples…
You just had to get a short term loan yourself because you over funded your 401k, kids college fund, health savings plan, etc.
Your company just sent out lay off notices.
You just met with your financial planner and they said you are under protected with no emergency fund. So can’t lend anything out until it is build up.
I am sure some fellow pigs can come up with even better excuses other than the honest… NO!!!
