Rather than writing another generic book about “setting boundaries,” I have made this one extremely practical.
Inside, you will learn:
- What to say when someone asks for money you don't have
- What to say when you actually have the money but don't want to give it
- How to respond when someone says, “You're the only person I can ask”
- How to deal with relatives who believe your income belongs to the whole family
- What to do when someone repeatedly borrows and never repays
- How to ask for your money back without feeling awkward
- What to do when someone becomes angry because you said no
- How to distinguish genuine emergencies from habitual financial dependence
- When giving is better than lending
Helping someone should not require destroying yourself financially. Before you lend another person money, read this book. You may discover that the real reason you keep saying yes has nothing to do with money.
