I thoroughly enjoyed explaining to mostly women what to say when their romantic partner wants to borrow money. If you are interested, read here for the underlying philosophy (with comments from hubski), and here for suggestions about what to say.

Why is this directed toward women for the most part? It might be the cynic in me -- or it could even be my greed -- but I don't typically recommend lending anything other than insignificant amounts of money to anyone.

It's directed towards women because women are always asking me (and Google) that question. Men also ask Google about lending money. There are many different situations, but as I think the stories indicate, I'm speaking to women who feel pressured and have difficulty saying no.

I'm aware of men who also have difficulty saying no when they want to.
