Saying ‘No’

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money

M Do you like to please others, a “Yes” person?  This is  dangerous financially.  If you have a bit of change in your pocket, or wealth of any amount, someone will notice and have a great plan for your money.

V  They have a favored investment, that usually brings profit to them.  They want a loan, which they will pay back.  Practice saying, ‘I’ll think about that.’  Or don’t practice, just say ‘No.’  A friend with your best interests at heart,  will still be your friend after ‘No.’ 

Why ask you for a loan?  They did not qualify with a bank or another source?  There’s a big red flag.

M We remind ourselves that all we are overseeing is God’s on loan to us.  We say ‘Yes” to God’s plan.  Not others asks.
