If someone I care about asks to borrow money, I will give it to them as a gift IF the need is real and I have the money available. I refuse to lend it to them.

I have turned family members down who have asked to borrow if I don't believe they've done all they can on their own to resolve the problem.

We just turned down our 28 year old daughter who wanted a loan for school. She makes good money part-time working and seems to be turning into a professional student. Right now she's angry and we don't expect a Christmas card this year....oh well.
