Answers & Discussion
Use a simple script: 'I’m sorry, I can’t lend money right now.' Do not over-explain. The more reasons you give, the more people negotiate.
I only give money I can treat as a gift. If I cannot afford to never see it again, I say no. Loans to family can damage relationships fast.
