By the fifth time a friend or family member hits me up for cash, I'm going to start talking to him about the root cause of his cash flow issues. There may be advice, help, references, etc. that I can help with. Because that's what friends and neighbors do, not because I'm political.
- throwanem 9y agoWe're not talking about friends and family here, though. That's a clear different situation.
