Dealing with coworkers who has poor money management skills

Quote from TraderTactics:

Has anyone here ever experienced coworkers coming to you like 2 or 3 days before pay day asking --"can I borrow $20 until payday?" And I'm just shocked because some of these people are in their 40s and older and are having trouble managing their money. But what's even worst is when payday comes, the person who borrowed the money does not say a word about the money they borrowed from you. They act as if they never borrowed any money from you at all which is why my lending out days are over at the workplace.

A good way to minimize unwanted intrusions is to always need (or have) what they want from you.

The guy calling on the phone, soliciting for rug cleaning or a new roof? "Gee, I wish you had called last week. I just did that!"

The guy asking for the 20 buck loan? "Gee, I was just going to ask you the same because I need to buy/pay for XYZ."

Be charitable for things that make you feel better for donating the coin.... Booze, sex and drugs ??? :( :)
