How do I stop people who keep asking me for money?

There are these two people who USE ME for money. They only speak to me when they want something. They approach me all friendly and they tell me "I'm the coolest", and soon, they pop the question: "Can I have 20 Dollars?" They ask for money every week. They say that they are going to pay me back, but they never do. And, when I confront them, they say "Oh, I thought you gave me the money." I always start out by saying “no”, but they won’t go away.
What would 2Bosse do?

Dear Pockets,

You remind me of those people who go to the zoo and ignore the "don't feed the birds" signs. If you keep feeding the birds they are going to keep pecking you.

2Bosse would respond: “F’You”

But, if you’re not 2Bosse yet, then you might try this instead:

Help your "friends" manage their money

  • Demonstrate your values and beliefs in regards to money.
    (i.e. you value your money in YOUR wallet).
  • Talk to them about their paycheck
    and how they could use that money
    instead of your money.
  • Help them set financial goals that
    are in line with their income not your income.
