can i borrow your $$$$$?

I love my friends. I wish them nothing but the best that this life has to offer. I want them all to succeed and handle thier business accordingly. Most of my friends have kid(s). I don't. Most of them work just one job. I don't. I work two. When they come up short, they call me. I didn't mind in the beginning but now it is getting a bit more routine.

How do you tell your friends the Bank of  YOU is now closed? I feel guilty when I dont help but it is not my responsibility. What do you think? Do you have friends like this? If so, how did you handle the situation?

Mimi - LOLOLOL, my memory sucks so I didnt get it. LOL. But now that you explained it, that is real funny. Sorry for the confusion, enjoy your day!

@ A Screen Name

I agree. I have blogged about this once before. You have a real good memory. And just for the record, I didnt give anyone a dime. So I am making progress. 8-)

Have a good day!

LOL, I know it is too late but I am Colleen... I thought we talked about that before, I was just playing!!!

As long as you continue to be a patsy and sucker to their begging and giving them money they will keep coming to you for it … you have blogged about this same thing for the last several years …

LOL @ HappyGirl! I thought it was just me. LOL

I can't believe I am reading here that someone actually tried to tell someone else HOW to spell THEIR OWN name?? Seriously?? That's just crazy right there.

Yes, nip it in the bud. If they stop being friends when you don't loan them money, they were never true friends to begin with. You do not need them.

As Nancy Reagan said, "just say no". It's hard to do, and you will likely find that those "friends" are no longer your friends. Fact is, kind of folks just use you and kick you when the gravy train runs dry. Think of the experience as a "cleansing". If you don't stand up for yourself, you will eventually find yourself with a bad attitude about it, so do it for YOU. You have the right - just like others have the right to make do for themselves.

Mimi - I agree with most of what you said.

My mother named me Coleen. It has been that way for 31 years. I spell it how she named me (note the one L) so I will keep it that way for now, thanks!

Not that I have read the rest of the comments, remember it is your choice. You do not owe them a reason why you choose not to do it. In my experience, giving a reason just gives them something to argue about to try to talk you into again. I have been there and the bank of Colleen is closed. (Note the two L's, the right spelling!)
