Some people don't like to borrow money. For such people, it's usually not about whether the lender needs the money back, it's about how they see themselves.

I try to cultivate friendships with people whose mental model of themselves and their friendships with me would require that they treat a loan seriously (even if, in the end, they couldn’t pay it back). With such a friend, whether to loan money is an easy question to answer: yes, as long as I can afford to. With anyone else I figure I’m not a bank (or a loan shark), so I shouldn’t get into a bank’s business.
