We are aiming for 10 NSD this month and up to today we are at 7 NSD - DD and I are really focused on eating what we have, putting off the errands to the shops and adding to the NSD's.
Today at work one of my colleagues approaches me and says "can you give me $5?" - I was busy preparing for our patients tomorrow and was so taken aback that my answer was "nope can't do DD took the last $5 this morning to school for valentine's day".
Then on my way home, I was thinking about it - we are doing all we can to avoid spending $$$ and yet my colleague expects a handout! Huh???
No please, no could you lend me..., no reason ... nothing!
So my question is what would you do?
So other than that:
- we had a NSD as I mentioned
- ate supper which I cooked last night
- am really pleased it's Friday tomorrow
What would you do?

I've been given a challenge to be more of a cheerful giver and less judgmental. This is not something that comes easy to me, maybe a positive response to something like this would fall into that category. I've never been a natural "Would give you the shirt off her back if you asked" type of personality.

Imagine, I would be $5 poorer today for absolutely no reason other that the fact that she just asked for $5!!!!! Weird?

When I do get repaid, it's like free money. If I don't get repaid, I consider it a duty on my part to help someone else who needed it enough to ask. With as much debt as I accrued for absolutely no reason, $5 is small potatoes that I figure "better to someone I know than to Bank of America."
