my friend trina keeps borrowing money from me and my other friends all the time and i've tried telling her I can't keep loanining her money all the time if she dosn't pay me back,but she won't listen to me.How can I get her to listen to me?
Teza answered Saturday March 11 2006, 4:28 pm: What does she need all the money for? Anyways, just talk to her and tell her that you will help her out with whatever she needs but you're not made out of money and you can't loan her anymore. Tell your friends not to give her any unless she pays you guys back and if she won't listen still don't give her any money. She's being greedy and selfish.

The only way you'll ever get her to listen to you is if you actually stop loaning her money. When you tell her, "I can't keep loaning you money" and then loan her money anyway, then what good is that?

Words don't mean nearly as much as actions.
If you tell her you 'can't' do something, and then you do it anyways, all she is learning is that it doesn't matter what you say.
Stick to it. Next time she asks for money tell her you cannot loan her money untill she pays you back what she owes, and mean it.
She might pout or beg, but if you give in to that then she will never learn to pay people back and will just keep using you. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
